Ahead of Black Friday 2019, Pick n Pay has announced that it will run a ‘trial run’ on Friday (27 September).<\/p>\n

The retailer said that the trial will test its new systems and prepare for the influx of customers at the end of November.<\/p>\n

“For one day only on 27 September, stores across the country will offer Black Friday-inspired deals on some of the most popular everyday products purchased on Black Friday last year,” it said.<\/p>\n

“The Pick n Pay online shop will also have selected online-only deals.<\/p>\n

“The Black Friday Trial Run deals will offer discounts of up to 45% across a range of everyday products from fresh foods, non-perishable items, and beverages to nappies, toiletries and household products.”<\/p>\n

John Bradshaw, retail executive for marketing at Pick n Pay, said its trial run for Black Friday is an opportunity to give customers great deals on their favourite everyday items ahead of Black Friday, and to stress-test its new systems for a \u2018bigger and better\u2019 Black Friday this year.<\/p>\n

“Customers really enjoyed our Black Friday deals last year. This year, we\u2019ll have the best deals and the smoothest and most efficient in-store experience for them,\u201d said Bradshaw.<\/p>\n

“Last year was Pick n Pay\u2019s biggest Black Friday yet, running in-store and online deals for a full weekend, and weekly online-only Black Friday deals throughout November.”<\/p>\n
