PEP Stores online | July 2025 specials | Cell phones & Home catalogue

PEP opened their first store in 1965, in the small town of De Aar, Northern Cape. Since then, the brand has added more divisions such as PEPhome and PEPcell stores, making it one of the biggest single-brand retailers in Africa. They employ more than 17 000 people, and those working at PEP stores, are also known as ‘Dynamos’.

According to the Barrett Culture Survey, PEP was recently voted (again) as one of the top inspiring business cultures in the world. Their corporate social investment project is called the PEP academy. Here, their focus is to establish an educational foundation in the early phases of learning, at grades four and five. So far, they’ve assisted more than 18 000 teachers and school managers.

Today, they have more than 2000 stores across Southern Africa, and you will find stores in cities such as Bethal.

PEP Stores fall under the Miscellaneous category along with other stores such as AliExpress, AutoZone, Babies R Us, Baby City, Crazy Store, Edgars, Sterns, Toys R Us and Tupperware. Their trading hours are from 9h00 to 17h30 from Monday to Thursday, 9h00 to 18h00 on Fridays, 9h00 to 14h00 on Saturdays, and 9h00 to 13h00 on Sundays.

If you have a tight budget, then look no further than PEP stores for affordable clothing and homeware, fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG), and technology. They also provide financial services such as Capfin loans, funeral insurance, money transfers, and account payments.  

• Even though they don’t have an online shopping platform, you can view all PEP clothing online.
• If you need a new mobile device, then look for PEP cell phones first. PEP sells more mobile phone handsets than all the other South African retailers combined! That’s almost one handset per second!
• PEP clothing includes outerwear, underwear, sleepwear, and underwear for men, ladies, and children. The clothing is of good quality and is very affordable.
• Their toiletries and skincare category includes all the basic staples you’d expect to find in the bathroom: toothpaste, razors, petroleum jelly, earbuds, and soap.
• Round off your outfit with accessories that won’t break the bank! Find headbands, scarves, beanies, earrings, and hair pins and clips, all available from PEP online.
• With PEP stores, a tight budget does not mean you can’t decorate your home.  Find beautiful mirrors, candles, clocks, and canvasses. You can also find personal items such as umbrellas, reading glasses, and sewing kits.
• Look to PEP online for all you need to kit out your kitchen. You can find mugs, oven gloves, tea towels, plates and bowls, and utensils in beautiful colours and designs.  
• Use your PEPmoney debit card for all transactions, while earning interest in your balance. You can also use an app to check you bank balance, pay accounts, or buy airtime. A PEPmoney transfer is the cheapest in South Africa!
• You can now also send and receive parcels at PEP stores! Their parcel service called PAXI, allows you to send, receive, and return parcels at more than 2000 PEP stores across South Africa. Because their stores are located throughout the country, it makes it more convenient and affordable for customers.
• PEP has been voted as the best clothing store in South Africa. Not only do customers get the best value for money, but PEP stores also have the lowest number of complaints!
• With PEP’s lay-by policy, you get 4 months to pay items in full. There are no admin charges, and you only need to put down a 15% deposit. You can also do a lay-by for someone else, with PEP’s Lay-by Buddy. So if you see something you like in the PEP catalogue, you can lay-by it!
