The two new outlets, which opened in the last week of November, are the fourth and fifth new stores to be launched by the retail group over the past two months.

Like-for-like net retail revenue generated by DA! increased by 13.3% year-on-year, driven by steady growth in LFL traffic and LFL average ticket.

“In the third quarter, we continued to enhance our assortment matrix by introducing 50 new private label SKUs,” Burger added. "As of the end of the last quarter, the share of private label products in the total SKUs stood at 42%.”
