Mr Price Group Limited, a listed company on the JSE, has over 820 stores which operate across southern Africa. Included in this are approximately 630 Mr Price, Mr Price Home and Sheet Street retail store outlets which operate successfully throughout South Africa, Namibia, Botswana, Lesotho and Swaziland. These stores retail an exciting range of quality, highly fashionable clothing, footwear, accessories and home related products for the family at unbelievable value in a dynamic and exciting shopping experience.
The Group is looking to expand its successful and profitable business formula into the rest of Africa, the Middle East, Australia, New Zealand and Europe. We are looking for Franchise partners outside of Southern Africa.

In addition, initial and on going training for you and your key staff will be provided. Management support is geared to ensuring the ongoing success of the business and to the production of above average returns on your investment.
In order to be considered, you must be financially sound with access to unencumbered start-up funding for both capital equipment and merchandise.
Lusaka, Zambia, was selected as the first test Mr Price Clothing store in October 2006 and Maputo, Mozambique followed in May 2007, and both stores are exceeding expectations.
We have since opened additional Mr Price (clothing) stores in Nairobi, Kenya and Accra, Ghana. We also launched the first Mr Price Home franchise in Nairobi, Kenya and have two franchised Sheet Street operations in Mozambique. By the end of May 2008 we will have a Mr Price (clothing) and Mr Price Home store in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania and our second Mr Price Home franchsie in Mozambique.
The franchise stores are all performing extremely well and we are looking forward to opening several additional stores in new markets in the next year.
If you are interested in acquiring a franchise option in countries that are not part of the Southern African common customs union; (ie: countries other than South Africa, Botswana, Lesotho, Namibia, and Swaziland), kindly contact Kerry-Lynn Weller from Mr Price Franchising on 031 310 8038, or send an email to kweller@mrpricegroup.com
