SUPERSPAR Boland celebrates 35 years of serving the Piketberg community!

Dagsê alle oulike mense. Met die wind in ons seile is ons nou vinnig besig om hierdie jaar uit te vaar, maar gelukkig is daar nog genoeg weke én naweke om darem op ‘n heerlike manier stukkie vir stukkie te begin groet en afskeid te neem Soos elke jaar is die dae nou volgepak met beplannings en partytjies, konserte en prysuitdelings, eksamens en (amper) vakansies. Op die kunsfront is alle kanale en ‘tutorials’ oorlaai met Kersgoete, idees vir die tafel, interessante dekor vir die huis, ‘daily

December’s’ om jou 2022 mooi vas te lê en in te skryf en natuurlik kaartjies. Allerhande vorms en groottes, kleure en temas, ‘vintage’ en ‘bling’, noem maar op.

Iewers sal jy ‘n gaaitjie kry waarin jou skeppings pas.

Baie sal nou sê, én dink, dat in ons moderne lewe kaartjies eintlik uitgesterf het, maar nee, nogal nie. Dit het nou net verander na ‘snail mail’, want op beste van tyd neem jou pos nou net so paar maande (of selfs jare) langer om by hul adres te land. Die goeie nuus?

Niemand is kwaaaaaad hieroor, want die lekkerte om ‘n briefie in die pos te kry, saam met die mooi-heid daarvan, oorskadu totaal die misnoë en ongedurigheid van die lange dae terug se datumstempel. Dit moedig jou net aan om ‘n poskaart of vyf weer in die posbus te gooi, natuurlik om jou sender te bedank, én om ‘n glimlag na ander toe te stuur. So die uitdaging wat ek vandag, en hierdie maand, aan julle wil stel, kom ons probeer om glimlaggies te saai oral oor die land, én sommer buite ons grens. Kikker iemand se dag of maand op, en stuur ‘n nota, briefie, of iets in daardie vorm, binne-in ‘n mooi koevert, en laat ons hierdie jaar eindig in ‘retro’ styl. Wie sou dit dan nou kon raai?

Geniet julle bedrywigheid, en moet nooit vergeet hoe spesiaal jy iemand anders se lewe kan maak nie.

Tot volgende maand.

SUPERSPAR Boland celebrates 35 years of serving the Piketberg community. Philip, Tanya, Dean, Lauren and Robert Jankielsohn surrounded by their staff.

Family values are very important to the Jankielsohn family, and SUPERSPAR Boland – its staff and customers - are all very much part of this family. With innovative upgrades in an array of service departments, and an increased focus on fresh produce, they continue to build on solid foundations, always putting their customers first. Modernized interior SUPERSPAR Boland, in keeping with retail trends, has modernized its interior. A major revamp focuses on making life easier for its customers – creating a friendly, safe, and spacious shopping environment that’s easy to shop, is well merchandised, with newly extended ranges. A major drive to enhance the concept of ‘Fresh’ means innovation on all fronts. SUPERSPAR Boland has employed a top chef, Sebastian Smith, who will develop new products, train staff and lift store standards to new heights. “We want to be effective and productive in everything we do,” says Dean. The SUPERSPAR team have elevated the Bean Tree café by re-doing the menu and adding a convenient ‘grab ‘n go’, allowing customers to be serviced quickly and effectively. “We have extended our ranges and modernized equipment in our service departments to heighten the In Slavenhuis benoem shopping experience.” The very popular ‘Chikka Chicken’ concept ‘store’ has upgraded its service area, by adding a till point, and modernized equipment, offering customers speedier service. In the Butchery department, customers are spoilt for choice, and will find special cuts and dry age meats, prepared by the highly trained butcher. Preparation tips and ways to prepare superior cuts will be available on an iPad reader. A Biltong Bar remains a popular concept at SUPERSPAR Boland. It offers a range of more than 25 different products. The focus on innovation and fresh continues in the Bakery department. A range of artisan breads are baked fresh on the premises, along with the best doughnuts in the business. Modern, new equipment includes professional, electronic shelf edged pricing labels. Customers are ensured that the price advertised on the shelf translates at the till point. “By supporting SPAR brand you are getting ‘as good as the best, for less’, and you are proudly local,” says Dean. “If a customer wants to buy in bulk, then we will ensure that they too are catered for.” Car give-away! In celebration of 35 years of doing business in the community, and as a way of saying thank you, SUPERSPAR Boland will be giving away a brand-new car in the month of November. As customers move into the festive season, they will be delighted with a superior shopping experience and might just be the lucky winner of a car! Issued on behalf of SUPERSPAR Boland.

Die wenner word op 7 November in Pretoria aangekondig. Sy teaterstuk met dieselfde titel het in 2019 by die Woordfees op Stellenbosch gedebuteer. In 2021 is dit benoem as Beste Nuutgeskepte Afrikaanse Teks by die Fiësta-toekennings en die toneelstuk ontvang ook die Woordfeestrofee vir Beste Opkomende Kunstenaar. Herschelle bedank veral sy Afrikaanse onderwyseresse by PHS, Nolie Eksteen en Wernaré Ramsauer, vir die passie waarmee hulle Afrikaans onderrig het. Hy sê hulle verdien die erkenning.
