Shoprite Holdings’ on-demand delivery service, Sixty60, maintained strong momentum in the six months ended 28 December 2025, with turnover generated through the platform jumping 34.6% — far ahead of the group’s overall growth rate.
The result highlights the rising role of online and app-based shopping in Shoprite’s business at a time when food price inflation in South Africa is easing. It also mirrors similar trends at competitors: Woolworths Holdings recently reported that revenue from Woolies Dash increased by 23% over the 26 weeks to 28 December 2025.
Across continuing operations, Shoprite recorded total merchandise sales of R136.8 billion, representing a 7.2% year-on-year increase. While the group did not provide Sixty60’s absolute revenue figures, its growth again outstripped that of the core supermarket business, where Supermarkets RSA posted sales growth of 7.1%.
The shift toward digital and convenience-led shopping has been particularly evident within the Checkers brand, where Sixty60 has become a key channel for consumers seeking rapid, app-based delivery.
Shoprite also reported exceptional performance from its adjacent businesses, many of which are built around data-driven retail and digital platforms. Sales in this segment surged 70.9%, driven by the rapid expansion of newer formats such as Petshop Science, Uniq Clothing by Checkers and Checkers Outdoor.
In its “Other operating segments”, the group noted ongoing growth at Computicket, along with its pharmacy and wholesale operations. Combined, these businesses delivered sales growth of 3.5% over the period.
Shoprite is scheduled to release its interim results for the six months ended 28 December 2025 on 3 March 2026, when it is expected to provide further insight into the performance of its digital commerce initiatives.
