It was Gus Ackerman’s vision of a world where value-for-money products are affordable to all that saw the doors open on the very first Ackermans store in 1916 in Wynberg, Cape Town. This vision remains at the heart of every one of the nearly 1000 stores operating across six countries today, a number that increases with irrepressible speed. “At Ackermans we’re proud of where we’ve come from, and excited about what’s still ahead."
