Our mission is to be Africa’s most accessible, affordable and innovative retailer; one of the ways in which we strive to achieve these goals is through unrivalled customer service. We cater to more than 24 million customers from diverse income groups and communities and we are committed to making their money work as hard as they do when shopping at any of our stores.
With our efficient supply chain, long-standing relationships with our suppliers and bulk-buying power, we can offer quality food and non-food products at affordable prices. In keeping our affordability promise, we subsidise essential items, like Shoprite’s in-house loaf of brown bread and sanitary pads. Customers will also find hearty meals costing R5 or less at our Shoprite deli counters.
A memorable shopping experience is what our business is all about and we aspire to:

We continue to establish and provide innovative platforms and convenient solutions that offer real value to our customers. Some of our latest innovations include:
