Pick 'n Pay is a large supermarket chain store in South Africa, established in 1967. It can also be found in other regions of southern Africa, such as Botswana, Zimbabwe and Namibia, and in Finland. The founder and current chairman of the chain is Raymond Ackerman.
Other supermarket store chains in South Africa that are part of the Pick 'n Pay group are Score Supermarkets and Boxer.
Rebranding
On 12 November 2007, Pick 'n Pay announced a brand transformation in the form of a brand redesign (which has largely remained unchanged since the 70s), new uniforms, advertising campaigns, and the slogan "Inspired by You".[citation needed]
Australia
In 1986 a Pick 'n Pay Hypermarket was opened in Aspley, Queensland, Australia. It was bought by Coles Myer in the 1990s.
Pick 'n Pay owns the remaining Franklins supermarkets in Australia, which were sold off by Dairy Farm International Holdings Limited in 2001 after the store's mass-expansion had landed the store in financial trouble. Other Franklins stores were bought by Coles Myer and Woolworths Limited and re branded under their respective supermarket brands.
