Shoprite posts record $16.3 billion sales as hiring slows
Original: Shoprite, largest African retailer, sales hit record US$16.3b; hiring slows Jamaica Gleaner http:// jamaica-gleaner.com/
Shoprite, Africa's largest food retailer, reported record sales of US$16.3 billion, even as the pace of new hiring slowed. The results point to continued strong consumer demand across its African markets while the company exercises caution on expanding its workforce, a combination observers see as a sign of efficiency gains amid wider economic pressures on the continent.
Why now: The record revenue figures paired with slower job growth raise questions about the retailer's expansion plans and the broader state of African consumer economies.
