Shoprite specials catalogue of the week     

Shoprite’s slogan isn’t “Lower prices you can trust Always” for noting. This chain store offers some of the best deals in town. They have been open for over 40 years and have upheld the promise to deliver quality goods at low prices since then. This commitment has helped them to become Africa’s largest food retailer. Shoprite has over 400 stores and more than 22 million customers.

Shoprite strives to make life convenient for their shoppers, so, besides the everyday grocery and household items they also have Money Market Services, LiquorShop and MediRite Pharmacies at various stores. This helps customers to get what they need when they need it.

Shoprite also strives to give back to the community, especially during tough times. They have about 130 000 employees and run food subsidies that help to save R20 million across the country during the times that people need it most. That’s not all they do. They also support initiatives in four sectors including those that help to empower women, fight hunger, develop skills and initiate change in communities.

Shoprite has also received some great awards. They are the No.1 food retailer and toy retailer, two titles awarded by TGI Icon Brands. Shoprite is also the No.1 Grocery Retailer, according to Times Sowetan Retail Awards. Lastly, the Sunday Times Top Brands Survey named them South Africa’s No.1 Supermarket. You would think all these awards would go to their head, but it hasn’t. They still maintain that the best thing about their chain is that they have upheld their promise in “bringing you lower prices you can trust, Always”.

Shoprite has a house brand called RiteBrand, which offers quality products at a lower cost, so you can save even more. Their slogan for this is “just like the best for less”. They also run numerous special offers, usually with a money back guarantee if you are not completely satisfied with your purchase.
