Shoprite has opened a new supermarket in Hlatikhulu, Eswatini, expanding the retailer’s growing footprint in the Shiselweni Region.
Shoprite’s impact extends beyond its stores, as it plays a key role in providing local businesses with access to its consumer market, reinforcing the retailer’s commitment to driving economic growth in the region. Customers will find the products of local suppliers such as Eswatini Kitchen, Black Mamba, Vital Tissues, Hazeldene Jam, and Swazi Fire condiments, and more, on the shelves of their nearest Shoprite.
Through its Growing Programme, Shoprite is also giving 55 small-scale farmers access to its supply chain and providing guidance on seasonal crop selection and volume requirements. This not only supports the country’s agriculture sector, but ensures a consistent supply of fresh produce, fruit, vegetables, and cut flowers to its stores across Eswatini.
Shoprite Hlatikhulu is managed by Jabulile Matsebula, who joined the company in 2008 and was previously the Branch Manager at Usave Hluthi.
