History
In 1927, Johannesburg's shopping hub consisted of four blocks along the west side of Eloff Street above Pritchard Street. So it was a risk of major proportions when two young upstarts, Michael Miller and Sam Cohen, opened a store a full block south of Pritchard Street, and on the wrong side of the road.
They called it OK Bazaars.
OK Bazaars was an instant success, and expanded rapidly throughout South Africa, becoming one of our most trusted and loved household names.
In 1929 the business was listed as a public company on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange. And by 1967, the OK Bazaars had opened 100 stores.
In 1973 South African Breweries bought a major share of the Group, growing the company even further.
In 1996 the Group divisionalised the various business segments and created a stand-alone brand for the Furniture Department - you guessed it! - OK Furniture.
At the same time, the credit, hire purchase and insurance functions were placed in a newly formed division called Rainbow Finance.
However rapid expansion of competitors in the 80's and 90's eroded OK Supermarkets market share and in 1997 South African Breweries sold the OK Group to Shoprite Checkers.
Recently, OK Furniture embarked on an aggressive marketing and advertising campaign to develop a brand positioning of "No problem" in the minds of Staff and Consumers.
Almost all Stores have been refurbished and upgraded and with powerful point of sale, OK Furniture is one of the best looking furniture, appliances, home entertainment and carpet retailers in the country. In addition, Staff have also had an image upgrade, and now sport bright, new stylish uniforms.
In May 2000, OK Furniture launched a new brand, OK Power Express, focussing specifically on appliances, home entertainment, base sets and cellphones. Since then, a further 11 stores have opened.
The Group has embraced the very best in technology and with the introduction of the electronic catalogue system and launch of the website, we are now able to provide Customers with a far wider choice and more convenience than ever before.
Our goal and vision remain steadfast in that we consistently strive to be the leading competitively priced furniture, appliance, home entertainment and carpeting retailer in Africa. We regularly improve our product ranges and offerings, have the best looking Stores, Deliver high levels of Customer service, continue to open as many new stores as possible, provide ongoing staff training and development, cultivate excellent Supplier relationships, maintain a low operating cost base and uplift local Communities, where possible.
Future growth will require great partnerships with Suppliers, Staff, and Customers and it's these partnerships that will ensure success in the future - NO PROBLEM!
