About Usave
Usave is the group's limited-assortment discounter, opened first in 2001 and now 494 stores in South Africa and 45 more elsewhere in Africa. It carries a narrow range of grocery staples at the lowest prices the group can manage, and its Usave eKasi format, built out of shipping containers, puts those stores in rural areas that had no formal grocery retail at all.
