Checkers opened the doors to its new state-of-the-art supermarket at the Fairbridge Mall in Brackenfell on Thursday, 25 February. The revamp has led to the creation of 48 new jobs, bringing the total staff complement at the store to 274.

With a strong emphasis on fresh food and convenience, the store now features an improved layout to makes it easier to find the foods that are suited to one's lifestyle and dietary requirements. It also has wider aisles and seamless floors that allow trolleys to move with limited noise, making for a tranquil supermarket shopping experience.
