Cape Town - A brand new Pick n Pay Clothing store is not only the largest in the country, but also the greenest.
Pick n Pay Clothing said it was gaining market share as it filled the gap in the local retail landscape with quality, on-trend, affordable clothing ranges.
It reported impressive growth in sales of 14.8% over the past six months, and is one of the growth drivers for the group’s new strategy.
It said that 28 new stores have opened in the past six months, exceeding the total number of stores opened last year (27). By the end of its 2023 financial year, Pick n Pay Clothing would have opened more new stores than the past three years combined.
Its new flagship, new-look Canal Walk store marks another milestone of being its largest store. It has two entrances and an impressive range for men, women, children and babies.
At the official launch today, Hazel Pillay, general manager for clothing, said they had embarked on a conscious sustainability journey in 2019.
“This was originally to accelerate how we sourced and produced our ranges, but it quickly expanded to our stores. We now have a completely refreshed look which has been designed to incorporate a range of sustainability features to meet green standards.”
On Thursday, customers were treated to a runway show featuring the work of young designer Matte Nolim, who has collaborated with one of SA’s foremost designers, Gavin Rajah.
“The limited edition range he has created is produced locally and provides our customers with a unique designer piece that is completely affordable.”
