Checkers-owner Shoprite Holdings has released an operational update for the six months ended 28 December 2025, revealing strong year-on-year growth in on-demand e-commerce sales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Shoprite recorded 34.6% year-over-year sales growth through the Sixty60 platform during the period, contributing to the company’s overall 7.1% sales growth in the supermarkets segment in South Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Checkers Sixty60’s sales growth over the six months ended 28 December 2025 was slightly slower year-on-year, following an increase of 47.1% in the same period last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Shoprite currently offers on-demand delivery from 694 locations in South Africa, up from 539 stores in 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The company recently shared its plans to further expand its general merchandise selection on Checkers Sixty60 with MyBroadband.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“We will continue to evolve the Checkers Sixty60 service to enhance convenience, increase value, and remove friction from our customers,” Shoprite said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Areas of growth include further expanding the general merchandise selection on Sixty60, growing our speciality pet food delivery offering, and increasing our presence in the health and wellness category.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The service is facing increased competition in South Africa, with Walmart launching its first stores in the country and offering on-demand delivery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Asked about the entry of potential competitors like Walmart, Shoprite said it welcomes competition in the retail and on-demand delivery spaces as “it ultimately benefits consumers”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The retailer said value remains critical to its business. It said around 5,000 products were priced lower on Sixty60 in 2025 than they were in 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Xtra Savings members saved 114% more during our 2025 Early Black Friday promotion compared to the year before,” it added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, it stated that, while it was easy to market convenience and low pricing, ensuring consistently accurate, on-time, and fresh deliveries at a national scale is a different story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Sixty60\u2019s average first-choice fulfilment rate was 96.8% across 2025, a performance not only sustained but even improved during peak trading periods,” Shoprite said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The retailer recently expanded its same-day delivery service across new categories, including general merchandise, and it added that customers have responded positively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The same-day service offers delivery in precise 60-minute time slots, rather than the inconvenient all-day delivery windows typically associated with household items.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
