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.
