SOUTH AFRICAN chain store Pick n Pay will over a period of five years open seven stores in Zambia by investing US$30 million.

Pick n Pay was incorporated in Zambia last year and is part of the well-established Pick n Pay group of companies with retail operations in South Africa, Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe and Australia.

According to recent media reports, Pick n Pay has signed a cooperation agreement with the Zambia Development Agency (ZDA) which will enable the firm to engage micro, small and medium enterprises as suppliers and contractors during construction of the stores.

UNI affiliates already represent Pick n Pay workers in Australia, Botswana, South Africa and Zimbabwe.

And UNI Commerce plans to engage Pick n Pay in discussions for a global agreement as the company expands across Africa and beyond.
