Shoprite Next Capital – Enterprise Supplier Development
Get your product onto our shelves
Shoprite Next Capital is dedicated to empowering and growing local, commercially viable SMMEs as part of our ongoing efforts to give small suppliers access to our consumer market. We focus solely on small suppliers and enterprise supplier development (ESD).
Shoprite is the first retailer in South Africa to introduce an exclusive private label product range (called Homegrown) which is locally sourced from primarily small, medium and micro enterprises.
If you have a small local enterprise with an annual turnover of R5 million or less, and a one-of-a-kind product to sell, you’re invited to join the largest supplier network in Africa.
Let us help you grow your business and become a Shoprite supplier. Start by telling us about your product and completing our small business application form.
