about us

The story of Ackermans
 
Ackermans’ success story began in 1916 when Gus Ackerman opened the very first store in Wynberg, Cape Town, setting a benchmark for competitive prices that few could match. Today, with more than 380 stores in Southern Africa, including Namibia, Lesotho, Swaziland and Botswana, the business continues to go from strength to strength.

Ackermans’ proud heritage was built by focusing on the things that matter most to our customers; namely affordability, fashion and durability.
By enhancing our product offering and assortment, as well as improving the layout of our stores, we now offer a modern, convenient shopping experience that exceeds our customers’ expectations.

And because building relationships with our customers is vital to us, you can get all the latest news and special deals on a number of social media platforms such as blogs, e-mail newsletters, Facebook, Twitter and YouTube.
