Shoprite has been named a Platinum winner in the 2026 Daily Sun Readers’ Choice Awards, taking the top spot in the Grocery Retailer (Supermarket / Hypermarket / Retail Chain) category. 

This recognition comes from the people who matter most: customers. Millions of South Africans rely on Shoprite for the food and household essentials they need, at prices they can afford. 

As households continue to manage rising living costs, Shoprite remains committed to delivering on its Low Price Promise. Behind this commitment is work taking place across the business every day — from smart pricing technology and data-driven insights to strong supplier partnerships — all helping the retailer find better ways to deliver real value to customers. 

Shoprite’s focus on value is reflected in initiatives such as its iconic 600g brown bread, which has remained priced at just R5 since 2016, as well as subsidised deli meals, value meal deals and affordable household essentials – helping to make every rand count.

Behind these savings is a strong supply chain: Shoprite’s distribution centres and logistics network help ensure that customers can count on fresh, quality products every day.

With almost 1300 stores nationwide, a range of formats to suit changing shopping habits and convenient services such as Sixty60, Shoprite makes it easier for customers to access the products and services they need, wherever they are.
