Shoprite has reported its fifth straight year of market share gains in South Africa, reinforcing its dominance in the local retail sector. The company’s strong 2025 financial performance was led by its core supermarket division, which includes the Shoprite, Checkers, Usave, and Sixty60 brands.

In a trading update released on 5 August, the group highlighted 9% total sales growth for the year ended 29 June 2025, with a 9.5% increase in sales from its South African supermarket segment. This division accounts for over 84% of group revenue. Earnings per share are expected to rise by between 17% and 27%, with continuing operations contributing a 12.6% to 22.6% increase.

Checkers and Checkers Hyper stores, including LiquorShop outlets, saw a notable 13.8% sales rise, while Shoprite and Usave grew by 5.9%. Sixty60, the company’s rapid delivery platform, also continued its upward trajectory, with online sales climbing 47.7%.

The group expanded aggressively over the year, opening 194 new supermarkets in South Africa, including 43 Shoprite stores, 29 Checkers, and multiple LiquorShops.

Shoprite also completed several strategic changes: it acquired Pingo, the logistics firm behind Sixty60, and exited its furniture businesses in South Africa, Mozambique, and Angola. Operations in Malawi and Ghana are expected to be sold by the end of 2025.

Outside South Africa, Shoprite’s non-RSA segment grew by 6.4% in rand terms—or 14.2% in constant currency—contributing just over 8% to total sales. This arm now operates 268 stores across seven countries.

Full financial results are scheduled for release on 2 September 2025.
