The manager of Port Alfred Pick n Pay,

has been with Pick n Pay for the past 15 years, having started out at the Grahamstow­n branch where he was based for 11 years before relocating to Port Alfred. “It has been a good learning curve; I started as a trainee manager and working my way up to assistant manager and eventually became manager, it has been a journey. I am excited about all the changes we have made in the store and am looking forward to the festive season and to welcome all the holidaymak­ers to Port Alfred,” he said.

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.
