Cementing the milestone, the group is set to open the 30 th Pick n Pay branded store on the 30 th of June, a testament of hard work, dedication, and commitment to the communities they operate in.
To honour the decade of growth and resilience, commemorations were held at the first store in Kamfinsa, Harare. The store signifies the beginning of an ongoing journey that has brought success and continues to grow the business. Pick n Pay has stores across the nation including Harare, Chivhu, Chiredzi, Vic Falls, and Zvishavane.
Their nationwide footprint has served many communities and impacted them positively.
