The Opportunity

South Africa’s retail market is worth roughly R1.43 trillion and is forecast to reach about R1.84 trillion by 2030, driven by digital adoption, urbanisation and rising middle-class aspirations — yet many community catchments remain under-served. Khula Retail captures a share of this expansion with a community-anchored, capital-efficient store concept — an R4.6-million project reaching break-even in month 8, full payback of invested capital by Year 3, and scaling to R19.8 million revenue by Year 5 at a 15.2% net margin and a 34.8% five-year IRR.
