About Us
ABD Group is a South African retail and distribution company that owns and operates a growing network of Convenience and Hardware stores under the Powered by ABD Group brand.
We focus on bringing modern, reliable retail experiences to community and peri-urban areas, locations often underserved by major retailers. By investing directly in these areas, ABD Group provides residents with consistent access to essential goods, building materials, and services, while creating local jobs and business opportunities.
Our philosophy is simple: when local access improves, communities grow stronger.
Our Commitment to Quality and Safety
With the rise of counterfeit and unsafe products in many community markets, ABD Group takes product integrity seriously. We source only original products from reputable and verified suppliers, ensuring that every item on our shelves meets safety and quality standards.
From food and household goods to building materials and hardware supplies, our customers can shop with confidence knowing that the products they purchase are authentic, safe, and approved. At ABD Group, the safety and trust of our customers come first.
Our Impact in Community and Peri-Urban Areas
ABD Group’s work goes beyond retail. It is about economic inclusion, empowerment, and local development.
● Reliable Access to Essentials: We bring affordable daily goods and building materials closer to where people live and work.
● Job Creation and Skills Development: Each store employs and trains local residents, providing practical skills in retail operations, logistics, and customer service.
● Local Economic Growth: Our operations stimulate neighbourhood economies through local procurement, transport, and support services.
● Safe and Modern Retail Spaces: We upgrade retail environments with clean, well-managed stores that uplift the standard of trade and customer experience.
Corporate Social Investment (CSI)
ABD Group believes that meaningful business growth must also contribute to social and economic development.
Our Corporate Social Investment efforts are guided by a commitment to uplifting the communities in which we operate. We support initiatives that promote opportunity, education, well-being, and sustainability, helping to build stronger, more resilient communities over time.
For ABD Group, social responsibility is not a project; it is part of how we do business every day.
