Makro celebrates birthday with 'spot the cake' competition

Makro is celebrating its 52nd birthday by bringing the internet-breaking trend of hyper-realistic cakes into its stores.

In honour of this milestone, customers have until Saturday the 26th of August to visit selected Makro stores, where they can question their eyes and sanity in the retailer's unique and exciting ‘Spot the Cake’ challenge to win amazing prizes.

Loyal customers

Katherine Madley, vice president of group marketing at Massmart says, “Makro’s birthday is more than a celebration of our history, it's a tribute to our loyal customers who have supported us for over half a century. That is why, this year, we're ensuring our celebrations are bigger than ever by giving customers deals that are larger and more impressive than any we've offered nationwide. It is about putting our customers first and giving back in the most memorable way possible."
