Pick n Pay reported a 37.6% turnover increase for its Asap! platform and Mr D partnership. Total online business turnover grew 32.7% overall. The retailer attributed this expansion to digital investments and the rollout of a new generation Asap! platform.
The broader Pick n Pay group recorded a significant trading loss despite the e-commerce growth. Strong performance from Boxer stores helped reduce the group's total losses. Management views online sales growth as a core strategy to improve the company's financial standing.
