About Us
Boxer is one of the fastest growing discount supermarkets in Southern Africa.
Boxer is one of the fastest growing discount supermarkets in Southern Africa.
Acquired by Pick n Pay in 2002, Boxer has maintained independent operations, and is recognised for its unmatched customer value, underpinned by its unwavering commitment to operational efficiency and cost discipline. Led by a long-serving and stable management team, Boxer has achieved exceptional growth by offering a trusted and tailored product range, lower prices and great service across its diverse customer base. Customers range from daily household shoppers to those who travel by public transport, reflecting Boxer's reach across urban, peri-urban and rural markets.
Boxer operates as a fully-fledged retailer, rather than as a cash & carry or wholesaler, with a focus on discounted products and value-added services. Four decades of exceptional trading in a challenging market is testament to the forward thinking and determined enthusiasm of the Boxer team across all of its trading formats. The business continues to innovate and evolve to ensure that its customer offer surpasses retail industry benchmarks.
As of August 2024, Boxer operated 300 supermarkets, 159 liquor stores and 30 Build stores across South Africa and Eswatini. We achieved a significant milestone in October 2024 – with the opening of our 500th store – Boxer Port Shepstone!
