Builders\u2019 Black Friday discounts will include savings of between 20% and 70% on items such as water tanks, LED lights, ladders, security gates and air conditioning units.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Jumbo Cash &amp; Carry Caters to Traders<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOur Cash &amp; Carry stores, such as Jumbo, appeal to traders who own their own independent retail outlets and spaza shops and leverage Black Friday discounts to stock up on commodities for their busy Black Friday and Festive trading period,&#8221; said Stein.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;We typically work closely with our traders to understand their merchandise priorities before our buyers negotiate deals with suppliers \u2013 ensuring unmatched value and relevance.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;This year, Cash &amp; Carry customers will benefit from discounts on products such as snacks, sweets, toiletries, basic groceries and liquor.&#8221; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Weekly Deals<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All Game, Makro and Builders deals will be available both online and in-store while stocks last. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jumbo Cash &amp;
