About us
The Ackermans story goes back as far as 1916, when Gus Ackerman opened the first store in Wynberg in Cape Town. His vision for the store was to create a place where customers could find great products at fantastic prices, which is exactly what Ackermans became. Ackermans was, subsequently, bought by the Pepkor Group in 1986. Today, there are more than 850 Ackermans stores in 5 countries, making us a leading value fashion retailer for the whole family – continuously setting the standard for value and affordability. With a wide selection of fashion for ladies, kids, babies and men, as well as homeware, cellular and key financial products, we’ll keep bringing value to your life every day. Our purpose at Ackermans is: Bringing Value to Life, and it lies at the heart of everything we do, whether it’s to the lives of our customers and employees, or to the wider community and value retailing as a whole. The secret to our success is simple – people. Hiring people who love what they do, and giving them every opportunity to shine. In fact, at Ackermans we’re so committed to this philosophy that we’ve named our staff members Phadimas – which means ‘shine’ in Northern Sotho. Every day, each of our employees is encouraged to shine, reach for the stars and take each other, and the Ackermans brand, to new heights of achievement and success. We firmly believe that the future of our company rests in the hands of the people we employ. As such, every new Ackermans Phadima is put through a rigorous selection process and chosen with the greatest of care. This process ensures that each new Phadima is a perfect fit for our company culture, and will thrive in our environment of encouragement, motivation and inspiration. If you feel that this is an environment that you could succeed in, we’d love for you to join us. View our current vacancies, and we could soon be welcoming you on-board as our newest Ackermans Phadima!

Today, we hosted a Wellness Day at our Support Center, encouraging our Phadimas to take a well-deserved break and focus on their well-being. The day was filled with activities designed to refresh and recharge, including health checks, a smoothie bar, beauty treatments, and more. It was a great reminder for everyone to prioritise their health and replenish their energy 💚

At Ackermans, we believe every small act of kindness can make a big impact! 💚 In celebration of #WorldSmileDay, we partnered with BigManKG, to turn simple shopping trips into a moments of joy at Sandton City, Mall of Africa, and Menlyn Mall. A few lucky mall-goers were surprised and delighted with two vouchers – one to keep and one to gift on to someone of their choice in a random act of kindness. This is our way of spreading some smiles and happiness today. Happy #WorldSmileDay from all of us at Ackermans! 💚

We’re excited to officially open our brand-new state-of-the-art Hagley Distribution Centre, a testament to our commitment to better serve our customers and partners. This milestone wouldn’t have been possible without the hard work and dedication of every Phadima and partner involved. A special moment was the ribbon-cutting by our longest-serving Phadimas, Ivan and Glen, who have been part of the DC300 family for an incredible 40 years! 👏 This facility represents not only growth but also our drive to continuously improve, and we are so proud of what we’ve achieved together and what is to come in the future!

Ackermans, in collaboration with Food & Trees for Africa and Niya Consulting, proudly supported the delivery of shade and fruit-bearing trees to three Early Childhood Development (ECD) Centres in Hammarsdale. This initiative is part of our ongoing commitment to sustainability and community development. Once grown, these trees will provide vital protection from the elements, offer fresh fruit, and create opportunities for sensory play and learning for the children at these centres. We’re excited to continue this impactful journey with more deliveries planned to an additional 35 ECD centres. The gratitude and enthusiasm from the communities have been truly inspiring. Together, we are making a meaningful and lasting difference! 🌱 #FoodAndTreesForAfrica #Sustainability #CommunitydDevelopment
