The first supermarkets based on the USA self service concept were opened as Checkers in 1955, but the actual suburbs where they were opened doe not seem to be recorded. South Africa's great retail king Raymond Ackerman was behind the innovation but went on to found the succesful international Pick 'n Pay group.
