JOHANNESBURG - Massmart a unit of Walmart continues to expand its footprint across South Africa.
The company plans to roll out more Walmart stores in Gauteng, the Western Cape, and KwaZulu-Natal this year.
A third store has opened in Boksburg signalling faster conversions from Game stores.
The move highlights Walmart’s strategy to strengthen its supermarket presence and compete directly with major grocery chains in the country.
Game's footprint has dropped below 100 stores for the first time in over 15 years and will shrink further as conversions continue.
Walmart has shifted away from its Game format and mini Makro plan.
