Overview of franchising in South Africa

  • Franchising composes around 12,5% of South Africa's GDP and is a substantial contributor to South Africa's economy. It grows annually by approximately 25%.1
  • The history of South African franchising goes back to the mid-1960s when George Halamandaris established Steers and a number of other brands.
  • South African franchising is unique due to the fact that around 90% of franchises are based on locally developed ideas.
  • Among the most iconic franchises in South Africa that are household names are: Steers, Spur, Nando's, Pick 'n Pay, Mugg & Bean, Chicken Licken and Debonairs.
  • Franchising has a positive spin-off for neighbouring countries as well. Pick 'n Pay for example has opened in Swaziland and Botswana.
  • Shoprite, a South African retail franchise, has operations in 15 African countries outside of South Africa.
  • Presently there are around 550 franchises in South Africa.2
