Shoprite marked the opening of its 100th store in the Western Cape with a new supermarket on 5th Avenue in Lotus River, Cape Town.

The store features a Meat Market, Deli, Bakery and Fresh Fruit & Vegetables department, alongside a Money Market counter where customers can buy prepaid electricity, airtime, data, lottery and bus tickets, and pay municipal bills.
