Pick n Pay Announces Its Partnership With Takealot
Pick n Pay Announces Its Partnership With Takealot. Pick n Pay has announced that it has partnered with Takealot in order to launch a delivery service in association with Mr D Food, which is a tech company that delivers restaurant food to people across South Africa.
“Under the agreement, when a customer opens the Mr D app, he or she will be offered the choice either to ‘buy groceries’ or ‘buy food from restaurants’. By clicking on ‘buy groceries’, customers will enter a dedicated Pick n Pay food and grocery experience….Once the order is submitted and paid, Pick n Pay will pick and pack the order from the closest Pick n Pay store. It will then be collected by a member of the Takealot delivery fleet, and delivered to the customer,” Pick n Pay said in a statement.
Pick n Pay Stores Limited Group is a leading South African grocery, clothing, liquor and general merchandise retailer, employing 90 000 people through its owned and franchise operations, across its Pick n Pay and Boxer brands. The Group is managed through its South Africa and Rest of Africa divisions and owns a 49% share of a Zimbabwean supermarket business, TM Supermarkets.
“We are hugely excited to be partnering with the brand and the people at Pick n Pay, who share our values at the Takealot Group. Mr D’s 2.5 million customers will be delighted to see a Pick n Pay grocery offer on the platform,” Takealot executive chairman Kim Reid said in a statement. “The combination of Pick n Pay’s reach, quality, and pricing together with Takealot Group’s leading technology and scalable delivery network is a recipe for success.”
