Local Hypermarket refreshes one stop shop experience
In May 1975, the very first PnP Hypermarket opened its doors for business in Boksburg, bringing the concept of one-stop-shopping to South African consumers for the first time.
Some 41 years later, the Boksburg Hypermarket at East Point will relaunch itself to reveal a completely revamped store.
Even though the revamped store has been open for a while, Thursday (June 23) marks the relaunch.
The design promises open, easy-to-navigate spaces, a comprehensive product offering and a host of value-add services, further enhancing the one-stop-shopping experience.
“We’re very excited about the changes,” says Warren van der Vlies, GM of the Boksburg Hypermarket.
“The environment is more welcoming and appealing, with brighter colours and clearer signage, and our ranges have been carefully selected to match the needs of community shopping.
“Our aim is for our shoppers to have a truly enjoyable retail experience every time they visit our store, whether they’re doing a monthly shop, a quick top-up or picking up a coffee in the new Grab n Go section.”
The new Fresh Hall offers a larger product range than previously, along with faster replenishment, so customers get the freshest possible offering, whether at the start of a busy day or on their way home.
Also new is the salad bar, where shoppers can design their own salads from a wide range of crisp ingredients.
Another exciting addition is the sushi bar, where sushi can be made to order and prepared right in front of you.
Customers can also look forward to the new health and beauty section and pharmacy and they also stock a selection of fresh flowers.
Warren has worked at the Hypermarket for the past nine years and says he is incredibly proud to be part of this new redevelopment and to see how it has evolved.
“The Boksburg community has always been very loyal to us and, over the years, we’ve become like family, so we’re thrilled to be able to welcome them to their wonderful new Hypermarket.
