Pick n Pay CEO Pieter Boone is perhaps a little more forthright than one would expect 16-odd months into the job in a new country: “I don’t want to be the biggest retailer; I want to be the best.” It would take a colossal effort to ‘catch’ rival Shoprite. In South Africa, its Brackenfell competitor has more than 2 300 supermarket stores . Pick n Pay, by comparison, has over 1 600 .
This is a far cry from that. The executive leading QualiSave, Gustave Möller, has been with Pick n Pay for a decade. He joined from Shoprite, where he created and expanded Shoprite’s U-Save format.
