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. Our offer to customers focuses on groceries, clothing, and general merchandise,
but also includes additional value-added services to cater for our customers’ expectations and evolving
needs. To ensure a convenient and accessible shopping experience the Group operates across multiple store
formats, both franchised and owned. For the past 5 years the Group’s core focus has been to strengthen its
strong South African retail businesses under the Pick n Pay and Boxer brands, while adopting a systematic
approach to expanding into adjacent areas, including geographical growth through the African continent.
