Why pick 'n pay was established?

Pick n Pay was established in 1967 by Raymond Ackerman in South Africa with the aim of providing affordable groceries and household products to consumers. The grocery chain was founded on the principles of offering good value, quality, and customer service. Ackerman sought to create a self-service supermarket model that would empower customers to choose their purchases while also emphasizing community engagement and social responsibility. Today, Pick n Pay has grown into one of South Africa's largest retail chains, known for its commitment to accessible pricing and sustainability.
