You can go all-in on owning your own Spar, Pick n Pay, Food Lover’s Market, or OK supermarket (owned by the Shoprite Group), as long as you have some cash to spare and retail industry experience under the belt.
In last week’s column I asked what kind of wine content you would like to see me write about. The comment that popped up more than most was about supermarkets, that is, how to deal with a wall of wines, all staring at you from the shelf. Which to buy? How do I know I won’t end up with battery acid? Oh god, the decisions. Too. Many. Wines. Fuck it, I’ll just get that coffee-flavoured Pinotage. Well, you are not alone.
