OK Foods specials and catalogues September 2025

OK Foods has existed for nearly a century. The store was established in 1927, originally trading under the name OK Bazaars. OK Bazaars was founded by Sam Cohen and Michael Miller, and they opened the first store on Eloff street in Johannesburg’s business district. It’s not quite clear how they decided on the name ‘OK’, but most records suggest that it comes from the popular expression ‘okay’. In the two years following the opening of their first store, more stores opened in Pretoria, Bloemfontein, and Durban. By 1967, they had already opened 100 stores and today, there are over 400 stores across South Africa. You will find an OK Foods in cities such as Cape Town, Paarl, Johannesburg, East London, Mossel Bay and Middelburg.

OK Foods falls under the Groceries category along with other stores such as 1UP Cash & Carry, Big Save, Bluff Meat Supply, Boxer, Cambridge Foods, Check Save, Check Star, Checkers, Devland and Diamond Discount Liquors. Their trading hours are from 8h00 to 20h00, Mondays to Sundays.
