South African retail giant Pick n Pay is targeting the middle market with a new range of QualiSave stores, which promises to offer essential items at lower prices, accounting for 40% of company-owned supermarkets.
Pick n Pay is splitting its brand in half as the retail battle for South Africa's middle market intensifies.
