South Africans who use the popular Checkers Sixty60 service have reason to celebrate. Shoprite expanded the service to 694 stores nationwide, up from 539 in 2024, making it more accessible than ever.

Shoprite revealed the update in its latest financial results for the year ending 29 June 2025, released on Tuesday.

The figures show that Sixty60 continues to grow strongly, with sales rising 47.7 percent to R18.9 billion.

Shoprite CEO Pieter Engelbrecht said the growth goes beyond the numbers. The service builds loyalty by keeping its promises, achieving 94 percent on-time deliveries and 96.8 percent order fulfilment.

He emphasized Shoprite’s focus on expanding its omnichannel retail model, which aims to make the group’s full product range easily accessible to most South Africans. With 85 percent of households located within five kilometres of a Shoprite-owned store, Sixty60 is strategically positioned to serve more communities.

New features and upgrades

This year, Shoprite also rolled out several upgrades to make Sixty60 even more convenient.

These include a new transactional website that allows customers to shop the full range online and receive delivery within an hour, a revamped Sixty60 app for improved performance, and expanded general merchandise delivery via Checkers Hyper stores.

“With Sixty60 recently crossing the 100 million order mark, I think it’s fair to say we are making inroads in terms of our ambition, and I couldn’t be prouder of this result and more so, our 168,000 employees.” Engelbrecht added.
