Walmart Everyday Low Prices Promise

This second Walmart-branded store demonstrates Walmart’s commitment to every day low prices, giving customers confidence that they will always get the best possible price on the products they need – without having to wait for short-term specials or month-end promotions.

Commenting on the opening, Massmart Chief Operating Officer Dries D’Hooghe

said: “Every day low prices are at the very heart of who we are. We were delighted when a recent independent media price comparison confirmed that a trolley of groceries at our Walmart Clearwater store was cheaper than the same basket at two major competitors. That same every day low-price promise is what we’re excited to deliver to customers at our new Walmart Fourways store.”

Walmart South African Customer Product Favorites

Opening day at Clearwater was a massive success with customers finding exciting new items to fill their trollies with. Here are some Clearwater customer favourites and yes, every one of them will be available at the Walmart Fourways store when it opens on Friday, 28 November:

• Imported cold beverages such as Fanta Strawberry, Dr. Pepper and Fanta Peach were particularly popular.

• The full range of U.S sweets including Pop-Tarts, Swedish Fish, Sour Patch Kids and Nerds.

• Sparta’s stunning marbled Sirloin steaks – thick, thin, or on the bone – topped the list as the most sought-after choice in the butchery.

• Also in the butchery, Deli-Co’s distinctive lamb lollies were a massive hit and were no doubt gracing countless Highveld braais by Saturday night.

• Walmart’s exclusive range of quirky and collectable Fuggler plush toys were a clear favorite with young customers.

• Hot Wheels toys were a collectors dream especially the 80TH Anniversary Kombi that stole the show.

Job Creation & Local Community Support

The new Walmart Fourways store has created 80 permanent jobs, including opportunities for first-time job seekers such as 24-year-old Denies Muthuli who has been employed in the Grocery Department. Just as Walmart does in communities around the world, the Walmart Fourways team has already shown its commitment to making a real difference within their local community. Team members recently took time out to visit Hlanganani Orphans Care, a Diepsloot-based NPO that protects and cares for vulnerable and orphaned children, to whom they donated much needed food preparation, furniture and home improvement products.

Store Opening Details

The Walmart Fourways store will open at 8:00 a.m. on Friday, 28 November with a ribbon-cutting ceremony led by Fourways Store Manager Lunghani Lincoln Mathebula alongside Kirsten Gray, project director of Hlanganani Orphans Care. The ceremony will also feature a performance by the Massmart Powered by Walmart Associate Choir who will open the proceedings with the National anthem of South Africa.

The objective is to ensure that whenever customers do their weekly shopping with Walmart, they always save money.

> “We’re thrilled to bring customers on the West Rand Walmart’s promise of Every Day Low Prices — together with a world-class assortment and shopping experience, both in-store and online. It’s an experience that blends the best of global retail with a proudly local touch.

Local & Global Products

Reflecting Walmart’s commitment to local community investment, the store’s product offering is largely sourced from local suppliers, complemented by a curated selection of global brands. Among these is Drew Barrymore’s Beautiful range of small appliances — which adds an inspiring touch to customers’ regular weekly shopping trips.

The range includes an elegant assortment of air fryers, kettles, blenders, toasters, and stand mixers, and is celebrated for its premium quality, elegant design, and soft pastel tones.

Expanding on the role of global brands in the product assortment, Merchandise Vice President Mark Scott explains:

> “A key objective has been to broaden product choices in a way that creates a sense of discovery — where shoppers are pleasantly surprised by options that bring interest and excitement to their everyday shopping experience. While Drew Barrymore’s Beautiful range delivers this in spectacular fashion, we also see it in simple moments — for example, our sweets and confectionery aisle features international favourites such as Mike & Ike, Reese’s, Warheads, and Nerds — brands not commonly found in South Africa.”
