Raymond Ackerman, the founder of South African supermarket chain Pick n Pay, has passed away at the age of 95. Ackerman, a prominent figure in the retail industry, had been battling health issues for some time before his demise.

Born in London in 1931, Ackerman moved to South Africa with his parents at a young age. He started his career in retail, working for his father’s grocery store. In 1967, he opened the first Pick n Pay store in Cape Town, which eventually grew into one of the largest retail chains in the country.
