Brand overview

Several supermarkets acquired by the Group between 1995 and 2011 were integrated in the OK Franchise division. These acquisitions include Sentra, acquired in 1995; OK Bazaars acquired in 1997; and Metcash, acquired in 2011. The Group’s expertise and infrastructure, coupled with the OK brand’s potential, gave rise to this division that manages over 500 stores in South Africa, Namibia and Eswatini (previously Swaziland).

The OK Franchise division franchises different retail formats (OK Foods, OK MiniMark, OK Express, OK Grocer and OK urban), a liquor outlet (OK Liquor) and larger President Hyper outlets and wholesale brand Megasave. Each store has its own identity and offers shopping facilities appropriate to its trading market. Customers will find a wide variety of fresh and non-perishable food items, as well as general merchandise in most stores.

OK Franchise division’s wide geographic reach allows for expansion in metropolitan, rural and remote areas.
