Owners, Mark Shelton and Jon Campbell, expressed their thanks to the loyal customers for their support over the last 20 years. “It is only through the community’s support that we are able to give back to the community from bowls to rugby, fishing, golf and all our wonderful schools to name a few. We would just like to say thank you. As Pick n Pay is a family-orientated store we could not have become who we are today without your help and support as well as the fantastic working relationship with our suppliers without whom we would not be able to make Pick n Pay possible,” Campbell said.
“We would also like to acknowledge the effort and commitment of our staff and management team, with many of our staff now having completed 20 years’ service. It has given us great pleasure to see many of our staff promoted to become department heads and management,” he said.
“We are truly appreciative of our customers for their patience and understanding during the revamp of the supermarket, but we do believe that the wider aisles, extended shop floor and refrigeration and a bigger range will be worth the temporary inconvenience as it will considerably improve your shopping experience.
“The current revamp and extension of the shop floor at Pick n Pay has been disruptive for a few months, but thankfully it is due to be completed soon. Renovations to the mall generally will take a bit longer. However, this overhaul will also make your visit all the more pleasant and will be well worth the wait. We will be showcasing the re-launch of the mall and our supermarket with attractive promotions as a thank you for the patience you have shown during our renovations,” he concluded.
