19 September 2025 | News

In a landmark moment, Boxer has officially opened its 550th store at Bridge City Mall in KwaMashu – a powerful indicator of its enduring growth, commitment to communities, and leadership in the retail sector.

From its humble beginnings in KwaZulu-Natal nearly five decades ago, Boxer has evolved into one of South Africa’s most trusted retail brands, now employing over 33 000 people, and supported by a wide network of infrastructure that includes multiple Distribution Centres and its purpose-built Meat Factory.

Boxer’s six strategically located Distribution Centres, with a 7^th opening in KwaZulu-Natal in October, ensure efficient stock flow, cost control, and consistent product availability across all store formats: Boxer Superstores, Boxer Build, and Boxer Liquors. The dedicated Meat Factory in KwaZulu-Natal underpins quality and safety in meat products vehicle, strengthening Boxer’s promise of fresh, affordable goods to millions of shoppers.

The 550th store opening is a major landmark for the business. It speaks to Boxer’s ongoing investment in local economies, job creation, supplier partnerships, and the capacity to deliver “all under one roof” value. This expansion supports smaller suppliers by giving them reliable demand and standards to aim for so their products can reach supermarket shelves. It fosters supply chain stability while driving cost efficiencies that benefit consumers.

To industry partners and stakeholders, this milestone is a signal: Boxer is scaling its operations with resilience and purpose. Whether you are in agricultural supply, logistics, packaging, or manufacturing, this growth opens opportunities for collaboration at scale. Boxer’s leadership invites you to be part of its journey toward even greater impact – raising standards, building capacity, and delivering value.

“Our journey from our first store to 550 stores shows what is possible when you stay true to roots, invest in people, invest in infrastructure, and maintain a relentless focus on value,” says Boxer Superstores CEO Marek Masojada. “We look forward to partnering even more closely with suppliers, producers, and community stakeholders to ensure that every store, every product, every transaction upholds our promise: never more than the Boxer price.”
