Pick n Pay is a prominent retail franchise business based in South Africa. The business, which revolves around offering a diverse range of products including groceries, clothing, and general merchandise, has established itself as a household name in South Africa and several other African countries. The history of Pick n Pay dates back to 1967 when it was founded by the late Raymond Ackerman. Ackerman purchased four small stores in Cape Town and expanded them into a nationwide franchise. Since venturing into franchising in the 1990s, Pick n Pay has been a trailblazer, revolutionising the franchise landscape. Since its inception, the company has been committed to consumer sovereignty and a decentralised management approach, principles that have guided its growth and expansion. Over the years, Pick n Pay has not only expanded its physical store footprint but also ventured into online retail, catering to the evolving needs of its customer base. The franchise’s commitment to social responsibility and sustainability has been a cornerstone of its operations, further solidifying its reputation as a trusted and responsible retailer in the region.

The franchisor behind the Pick n Pay brand is Pick n Pay Stores Limited, a prominent retail company based in South Africa. This company is responsible for the establishment and growth of the Pick n Pay franchise and its various formats.

At the helm of the company is a team of experienced professionals who are well-versed in retail operations, management, and strategy. This team oversees the franchise’s expansion, ensuring that each store upholds the brand’s values and standards. The leadership is known for its strategic vision in adapting to market changes, and customer needs and embracing technological advancements for retail innovation.

The franchisor provides extensive support to franchisees, including training, marketing, product sourcing, and operational guidance. This support is crucial in maintaining the consistency and quality of the Pick n Pay brand across all its franchises.

The success of Pick n Pay as a franchisor is rooted in its deep understanding of the retail market in South Africa and other African countries where it operates. The company’s commitment to community involvement, ethical business practices, and customer satisfaction continues to drive its growth and popularity.

Our commitment over these decades has led to the development of a proven operating system, one that equips our franchisees to uphold the highest standards of retail excellence. This system is designed to meet the dynamic needs of our diverse customer base, ensuring every franchisee is well-prepared to succeed in today’s competitive market.

Beginning in the 1990s, Pick n Pay has not only embarked on a franchising venture but has also redefined it.
