As the Group’s original and flagship brand, Shoprite is the biggest retailer in South Africa with a strong footprint in Africa. Affordable and accessible, Shoprite is a full-service supermarket where customers can do their shopping, pay their bills, receive government grant payouts and, in several select stores, collect their monthly prescription medication.
Shoprite’s story starts with the purchase of an eight-store grocery chain in 1979. The brand first developed in South Africa and expanded into Africa from 1990 with the opening of its first non-RSA supermarket in Windhoek, Namibia. Since then, this award-winning retail brand has grown to include hundreds of stores across the African continent.
The Shoprite brand strives to provide low-cost goods and services without compromising on quality. Apart from a range of quality private labels, Shoprite’s house brand – Ritebrand – offers price leadership on the shelf without compromising on quality.

Shoprite stores offer various in-house service departments including bakeries, delis, fish shops, wine sections and meat markets. Selected stores also offer other convenience services, including:
