The store was officially opened by Shoprite's Chief Executive Officer, Pieter Engelbrecht. "I am honoured and proud to present this store to you as an outstanding example of the extent of our Group’s ability to innovate in order to give our customers what they want. We take pride in our ability to tailor our products and services to meet our customers’ needs - whether they are looking for the most affordable products in remote areas or looking for artisanal chocolates and breads in Sandton City - all this while we never compromise on value for money."

That's right! The store will be adding more international wines than any other supermarket as well authentic French champagne and the widest range of Italian prosecco. The various in-store service departments (such as the Butchery, Bakery, Cheese Deli and Fresh Fruit & Vegetables) are dedicated destination areas - designed to look and feel like a store within a store - offering customers an artisanal market experience within a supermarket environment. Customers can also expect wider aisles and shelves designed with the shopper in mind, while the seamless floors mean trolleys make less noise when pushed through the store. Checkers Hyper Sandton City will also offer customers a 100% recyclable and compostable paper bag, which will be the supermarket chain’s first product carrying the new standardised recycling instructions, known as On Pack Recycling Labels (OPRLs), as per the guidelines recently published by the WWF-SA. Almost 60 new jobs were created with the opening of the newly branded store, bringing Checkers Hyper Sandton City's full staff to 290, of which 225 are women. ​The store will be managed by seasoned Branch Manager, Selva Pillay, who joined the Shoprite Group in 1991 and has more than 28 years experience in retail.
