Unique products find their way to Shoprite Checkers shelves<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A small KwaZulu-Natal company\u2019s perseverance has paid off, and its locally-produced range of dhal products are now listed in 25 Shoprite and Checkers stores.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe approached the Group several times over the years, but our brand was too young and unknown,\u201d says Pregasen Francis, co-founder of Saikav Foods.<\/p>\n

The company continued to work on its products and has expanded its range to include pre-soaked, pre-cooked and easy to prepare split pea dhal, gram dhal, moong dhal and a range of lentil, chickpea and bean products.<\/p>\n

Saikav\u2019s products are now listed in 25 of the Group\u2019s stores across KwaZulu-Natal. It is supplying three lines to the Group, and hopes to be able to extend it.<\/p>\n

\u201cShoprite and Checkers have been phenomenal in terms of giving us opportunity,\u201d says Francis. \u201cWe started delivering this year and we are growing quite well, especially in some of the big stores in super regional malls,\u201d says Francis.<\/p>\n

The flagship split pea dhal product originates from the UK, and was initially imported, but local production started about six years ago.<\/p>\n

\u201cPartnerships with retailers like Shoprite have given us the opportunity to invest in infrastructure and in people, and to take the step to go national,\u201d says Francis.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile we are a small company, we have grown to a staff complement of 10 people, a head office and warehouse facilities.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are passionate about quality and the uniqueness of our products, and we test over and over to get the product to the way we want it to be. We also take customer service to an extreme.\u201d<\/p>\n
