Local Baskets is bringing a proper supermarket to Ntshwane Village — no more long trips to Laudium or Diepsloot for the everyday things your household needs.
Local Baskets operates with the standards of the major chains, at township-friendly prices, launched from a cost-efficient container setup on family-owned land — so we can open sooner and keep costs down for you.
We're stocking the essentials first, and growing the basket as we settle in.
Maize meal, rice, bread, cooking oil and the everyday basics every household relies on.
Fruit and vegetables, kept in stock and priced fairly, every day of the week.
Cleaning products, toiletries and the ready-to-use goods that keep a home running.
Notebooks, pens, pencils and other daily learning supplies, close by when you need them.
A reliable gas supply for an off-grid community — no more traveling out of the village for it.
Launching a few months after opening, once the grocery side is settled and steady.
Buy a Local Baskets voucher online for family back home — pay by EFT, and the balance is loaded against their phone number. They shop at the till, no card or app needed. You can also top up a balance in-store with cash.
Container fit-out, shelving and the first delivery of stock lands on site.
Doors open. Opening-day promotions and community events kick things off.
Loyalty stamp cards and referral incentives start rewarding regular shoppers.
The third income stream opens once the core store is running smoothly.
We start scouting where Local Baskets can open its next store.
“Positioned between informal spaza shops and large retail chains, Local Baskets brings the accessibility of a local store together with the structure and service of a major supermarket — a clean, organized, welcoming place for your daily household needs.”— The Local Baskets Team
