Ten years since Checkers introduced Black Friday to South Africa 

| Marketing and Promotions

Shoprite and Checkers supermarkets are ready to welcome millions of shoppers for the tenth anniversary of Black Friday.

Customers can look forward to meaningful discounts of up to 50% on essential groceries, toys, baby products, tech, pets, small appliances, outdoor gear and clothing from Thursday, 28 November to Sunday, 1 December 2024. 

Checkers became the first supermarket retailer to introduce Black Friday in South Africa in 2014, with Shoprite following suit three years later. Aimed at providing cash-strapped consumers with much-needed savings ahead of the festive season, the promotion has since evolved into a nationwide retail bonanza.
