Pick n Pay, one of South Africas leading retailers and partly owned by the Ackerman family, opened its first hypermarket in Pietermaritzburg on Tuesday after converting its Supermarket at Liberty Midlands Mall into a full-scale store.
The revamped store is designed as a one-stop hub, offering an expanded mix of groceries, household goods, electronics and outdoor items for shoppers in Pietermaritzburg and across KwaZulu-Natal. It marks the companys first major store conversion of the year, with additional Hypermarket openings planned in Klerksdorp, Ottery and Longbeach in the coming months.
This isnt just a store upgrade, its a game-changer for Pietermaritzburg shoppers, said Katherine Madley, the companys chief marketing officer. Our Hypermarket format is designed around the evolving needs of local shoppers. Whether youre buying fresh produce, tech gadgets or outdoor furniture youll find it all under one roof.
