About the owner: Shoprite Group
Shoprite Group is a publicly listed company headquartered in Brackenfell, Cape Town, South Africa, founded in 1979. Brandtree records 19 brands under its control, and it is listed as JSE: SHP.
The Shoprite Group is the largest retailer in Africa and the largest private sector employer in South Africa, with revenue of R252.7 billion and 168,939 employees in the year to June 2025. It began in 1979 when PEP Stores bought a grocery company of eight stores, called Shoprite, from the Rogut family, and now trades from 3,478 stores including franchises, segmenting the South African market between distinct supermarket banners rather than running one. It has been narrowing that focus: its two furniture chains are held for sale, and its Ghanaian and Malawian operations are classified as discontinued.
