Who We Are
More than a wholesaler
A community institution
For over 40 years, Jumbo Cash & Carry has been showing up – in townships, in trading hubs, in the stockrooms of thousands of spaza shop owners, tavern traders, and small business owners across South Africa. We’re not just a place to buy bulk goods. We’re the partner that helps the informal economy thrive.
Since 1984, Jumbo has stood for one thing: giving entrepreneurs access to quality products at prices that make their businesses viable. Whether you’re running a corner spaza in Soweto, a tavern in Polokwane, or a small wholesaler serving your community in Durban – Jumbo was built for you.
