The proudly Botswana-born Choppies began in 1986 as Wayside Supermarket in Lobatse. From a single neighbourhood store, we have grown into Botswana’s leading supermarket retailer, with 118 stores serving families and communities across the country.
At Choppies, our purpose is simple: to make quality products accessible and affordable for everyone. Our stores offer fresh produce, everyday groceries, household essentials and more—all supported by competitive prices, convenient locations and a strong understanding of the needs of Botswana shoppers.
For four decades, Choppies has been part of everyday life in Botswana. As we continue to grow, we remain committed to delivering quality, value and convenience while creating a better shopping experience for every customer.
From our home in Lobatse to communities nationwide, Choppies is proudly local, proudly Botswana.
All Choppies stores houses a host of private labels under the brand name “Choppies”. All our private label brands represent value and savings. All Choppies brands are manufactured and brought to market in much the same way as the familiar national brands they sit next on the store shelves.
Our private label items are available in just about every food and non-food category- fresh, frozen, canned, dry foods, snacks, ethnic specialties, health and beauty care, house hold as well as laundry products.

The development was also extended to Botswana’s densely populated districts. The Group’s past is one of incredible growth, which bodes well for the future.
