Quality and convenience at supermarket prices
The Shoprite Group of Companies is the largest supermarket retailer in Africa. It operates more than 950 supermarkets and liquor shops across Africa.
eBucks can be earned and spent at supermarkets in the Checkers, Shoprite, Checkers Hyper, and Usave brands as well as all branches of Shoprite and Checkers LiquorShop in South Africa.
- Shoprite is the original business of the Group and remains the flagship brand, serving the mass middle market. It is the brand with the most stores in South Africa as well as the brand used to spearhead growth into Africa. The brand's core focus is to provide the public with lower prices on a range of groceries and some durable items. Specific emphasis is placed on basic commodities, which is critical to the core target market.
- Checkers focuses on time-pressed, higher income consumers and differentiates on its specialty ranges of meats, cheeses and wines. Its full range of groceries and household general merchandise items delivers consistently good value. Stores are located in shopping malls and other conveniently situated premises.
- Checkers Hyper offers the same specialty food selections and great value as Checkers, but within large-format stores that encourage bulk rather than convenience shopping. The general merchandise ranges are far wider in Hyper stores, focusing on categories like small appliances, pet accessories, garden and pool care, outdoor gear, home improvement, home ware, baby products, toys and stationery.
- Usave is a no-frills discounter focussing on lower income consumers. This smaller format, limited range store is an ideal vehicle to reach outlying and underserved areas within South Africa.
- LiquorShop offers an upmarket, convenient shopping experience to Shoprite and Checkers customers. LiquorShop primarily targets Shoprite and Checkers customers but the location of the outlets – with a separate entrance to that of the supermarket – invites passing trade too. It offers a full assortment of wine, beer and spirits.
