The various store formats within the Group cater for all income groups with the Checkers, Checkers Hyper and House & Home stores focussing on the higher income groups and Shoprite and OK Furniture focussing on the broad middle to lower market. The latest format introduced by the Group, Shoprite Usave, focuses on the lower-end of the market. Through the years supermarkets in the Shoprite stable have proved to be firm favourites with South African consumers. Consumers turn in increasing numbers to the Group’s three supermarket chains, which now serve customers in 58 million transactions every month. According to AMPS, 63% of the country’s population now shop at Group supermarkets.
The group now employs over 91 000 people, of these, more than 10 000 work in its stores outside South Africa. The Group created almost 7 000 more jobs in the period under review and expect to create a further estimated 5 700 jobs during the next year.
