The main reason for Atterbury’s association with Shoprite Checkers is that this supermarket group trades exceptionally well. More people visit a shopping mall if Shoprite Checkers is also there. Other retailers also like being in a shopping centre with Shoprite Checkers, due to the increased footfall these shops generate.

Shoprite Checkers has targeted the rest of Africa as a growth area. They are looking to increase their footprint in Africa to enable significant economies of scale over time. This ties in with Atterbury’s retail development strategy in the rest of Africa.

The entrepreneurial flair of Shoprite Checkers is matched by that of Atterbury Property. Shoprite Checkers likes investigating all opportunities, irrespective of individual countries. If an opportunity seems worthwhile, they are usually keen to take it up.

Currently one of the top retail outlets for Shoprite Checkers in the rest of Africa is situated in Atterbury’s Accra Mall, with Manda Hill also in the top three.
