During the season representative of new growth, many retailers are celebrating the opening of new stores: Clicks has just celebrated the opening of its
400th outlet, while
Kauai hits its 100th. Woolworths is expanding further into Africa through a
joint venture in Tanzania and Uganda. On the other hand, trying to quell rumours of growth between them, Spur and Famous Brands swear there's
nothing going on behind closed doors.
As the Rugby World Cup hits full throttle (what a nail-biter of a game!), Phillip Haupt gives us the
do's and don'ts to promotional marketing in and around the RWC.
On a final light note, if you think you're Michelangelo when it comes to the art of pouring the perfect draught, Stella Artois has the challenge for you: the
World Draught Master Competition. Happy pouring!
