Low Cost Refill Store Expands Access to Affordable Groceries
Story 3
A South African retail concept offering groceries and household essentials at significantly lower prices than traditional supermarkets is gaining popularity in local communities.
SKUBU, launched in Diepsloot in Johannesburg last year, allows customers to bring their own containers and buy products such as maize meal, rice, sugar, cooking oil and detergents in the exact quantities they can afford. By using refill stations and reducing packaging costs, the company says it can offer products at substantially lower prices.
The concept has attracted thousands of shoppers and is now exploring expansion through smaller container based stores that can be placed closer to communities.
The company says its focus remains on making quality everyday essentials more affordable for households facing rising living costs.
