Gus Ackerman opened the doors to the first Ackermans store in 1916 in Wynberg, Cape Town, with a vision of making value-for-money products affordable to everyone. Today, every one of the more than 890 Ackermans stores operating in six countries retains his vision at its heart. “At Ackermans we’re proud of where we’ve come from, and excited about what’s still ahead,” distils the brand, as renovations and expansion afford value to an ever-wider public.
