Ackermans Catalogue This Week

Ackermans specials this week: what the current catalogue covers

Ackermans keeps its offers in a long-running catalogue rather than a fast weekly sheet. The edition we hold is a five-page Ackermans specials catalogue for 14 October to 14 November 2026, so it spans a full month and started on a Wednesday. One edition does not make a habit, which is why we will not call Wednesday the usual start day. What the cover dates give you is time: you do not need to rush on day one.

Searches in the suggestions break the catalogue down by who is shopping, with Ackermans catalogue for ladies, kids, babies, boys and men all showing up, plus the odd one for phones. That mirrors the way the shop itself is organised. Our Ackermans specials catalogue this week page shows the scans, and you can flip straight to the section you need.

Where Ackermans comes from

This is one of the older names in South African retail. Wikipedia records that Gus Ackerman opened the first store in Wynberg, Cape Town, in 1916. The business passed through Greatermans in 1960 and Edgars in 1970 before Pepkor bought it in 1984. Today it is a Pepkor brand headquartered in Kuils River in the Western Cape, and it trades in South Africa, Namibia, Botswana, Lesotho and Eswatini.

How many stores? Sources do not agree. Wikipedia's box lists about 700 locations while its history text says more than 1,000 as of 2024, and an Enterprise Africa profile of the brand says more than 890 stores in six countries. We would not quote a number, other than to say that there are hundreds, in malls and town centres. The Ackermans site itself lists dedicated store finders for its Men's format (146 stores) and its CUBE format (233 stores).

What you can buy beyond clothes

Ackermans is value fashion at heart: ladies, kids and baby clothing and footwear, plus homeware and accessories. Wikipedia and the Enterprise Africa profile also point to cellular products and financial services. The same profile describes ways to pay that go beyond cash at the till: shopping on credit, lay-by, and bill-payment facilities. Many people search for Ackermans account and how to pay Ackermans account online, but we did not find a page that sets out the terms of the account, so check with the shop or the official site before you apply.

• Value fashion for ladies, kids and babies.
• Homeware and footwear, according to Wikipedia.
• Cellular and financial products, according to both Wikipedia and Enterprise Africa.
• Credit, lay-by and cash payment options mentioned in the Enterprise Africa profile.

Ackermans trading hours, Sunday and public holidays

Hours questions dominate the searches: Ackermans Sunday trading hours, what time it closes on Saturday, whether it is open on Christmas Day. We could not find a chain-wide notice, and mall opening times drive most of this anyway. A branch in a shopping centre will follow the centre's schedule, so check the centre or ring the branch before travelling on a holiday weekend. Nothing we saw confirms special public-holiday hours for the group as a whole.

Returns, exchanges and the app

People type Ackermans return policy without receipt and Ackermans exchange policy after 30 days a lot. The official site has an account area with sign-in through Facebook or Google and a promotions link, but we could not retrieve its returns wording, so we cannot give you a number of days. Keep your slip in the meantime. The same goes for the app: shoppers search for downloads and logins, and the app store listing on your phone is the correct place to confirm what it does.

Parent company and a note on reputation

Pepkor is also the parent of several other value brands, and Ackermans has a history of doing well in customer surveys. Wikipedia notes that in 2015 the South African Customer Satisfaction Index rated it the second best clothing store in the country. A survey from over a decade ago is not today's verdict, but it explains why the name keeps turning up in family shopping.

Compare Ackermans with other family stops

Clothing shoppers often combine Ackermans with a food shop on the same trip. Look at Pick n Pay catalogue specials and Shoprite weekly catalogue to plan the grocery side, then return to the department and fashion hub at department stores and fashion catalogues for similar clothing retailers. The full retailer list is on the South Africa catalogues page.
