Free State shoppers came from far and wide for the official opening of the VKB Group’s brand-new flagship store in Harrismith yesterday.
Boasting a brand-new look, the store not only leaves shoppers spoilt for choice with all their agricultural and grocery needs, it also features a VKB Foods outlet. Most of the products sold, along with leading brands, are produced or manufactured by the VKB Group.
Following the opening ceremony, which was attended by many high-profile VKB employees, the first 100 shoppers were spoilt with a free gift. Furthermore, the day was filled with awe-inspiring supplier exhibitions, lucky draws and a live broadcast by OFM.
“Our strategy is to add value where we are involved, especially on the farms, but also in the communities where we do business. That is why we want to give people a pleasant and safe shopping experience, and I believe (our stores) will offer people what they are looking for.”
