Food Lover's Market Holdings

We have bid farewell to our first and oldest franchise store in Mokopane, previously known as Potgietersrus or affectionately as “Potties”.  Since its opening as a Fruit & Veg City in 1999, the store has been a cornerstone of the community. We extend our deepest gratitude to Cobus Bekker, the store’s operator and franchisee, for 25 years of unwavering hard work, dedication, and passion.  We wish you and your team all the best in your future endeavours. 

Food Lover’s Market brings you a shopping experience like no other. As the little brand with the big heart, we have always prided ourselves on being real in everything we do – and that extends to our customers. We want to bring value into every aspect of their shopping journeys by giving them something unique: a real shopping experience.  With this campaign, we want to invite customers to turn the chore of shopping into a retail adventure by sticking to our roots – being real. A real shopping experience is in the senses… It’s being greeted by a range of endless variety. It’s in the friendly faces that greet you in every aisle. It’s in the value of everything you buy. It’s in the bag you take home, and it’s in every meal you create and in every memory you make.  Food Lover’s Market – It’s in the experience. 

Teach a man to fish, but also teach a man to teach a man (or woman!) to fish. 😀 Train the trainer is a teaching method that develops the skills to effectively train others. It helps people learn how to pass on their knowledge and expertise to others. At Food Lover's Market, we have been running the "train the trainer' for many years and we love hearing the feedback about how the equipped facilitators go on to run their sessions with their teams.
