Better and better; this is what we strive for on behalf of the millions of customers who’ve made Checkers a household name since 1956. But what does it really mean to be “better and better”? Well, our track record for pushing boundaries can be traced back to the opening of our maiden store in Mayfair, Johannesburg.

As it turned out, that first, humble 38 square metre outlet would become the incubator for many groundbreaking ideas for the then fledgling supermarket.

The Pick n Pay Stores Limited, through its subsidiaries and associates, operates in the retail sector on the African continent.
Pick n Pay is the quintessential family store focused on the customer. Since 1967 when consumer champion Raymond Ackerman purchased the first few stores, the Ackerman family’s vision has grown and expanded to now encompass stores in South Africa, Namibia, Botswana, Zambia, Mozambique, Mauritius, Swaziland and Lesotho. 

Additionally Pick n Pay owns a 49% share of a Zimbabwean supermarket business, TM Supermarkets.

There’s something different about shopping at SPAR, that’s because we’ve created a culture of caring and community to ensure our customers have a consistently enjoyable shopping experience in a uniquely friendly and family orientated store.

Nothing means more to us than our valued customers and we believe in going the extra mile to give them the best.

From sourcing the finest products to providing willing and efficient staff who take a personal interest in our customers’ needs.
