Superstore Liquor Specials This Week: There Is No Such Chain in South Africa, So Here Is Who Actually Sells Liquor Specials

Quick answer: We found no South African bottle store called Superstore Liquor; the only result was a Canadian flyer for the Ontario Superstore chain. South African liquor specials come from other chains: Shoprite Liquor (142 specials across three catalogues to 1 and 8 November 2026), Pick n Pay Liquor (about 687 stores in a 2024 breakdown, with a summer liquor catalogue to 29 November), tops! at SPAR (913 stores reported in November 2024), Boxer Liquors (206 stores in May 2026), Makro Liquor (23 liquor stores of Makro's 46), Ultra Liquors (described as one of the top three liquor outlets by volume) and independents such as Johnny's in Pretoria and Liberty Liquors in KwaZulu-Natal. You must be 18 or older.

Last updated: October 2026. Facts come from Cataloguespecials, WeeklyFlyer (Canadian), Wikipedia (Makro), Pick n Pay and Daily Investor reporting, Boxer's investor site, LatestSpecials, Johnny's and Liberty Liquors' websites. Counts are from different dates. "Superstore Liquor" may be a local independent that is not indexed; if you know its address, search it directly.

How to compare liquor specials across chains

1. Pick the same brand and size (for example 750 ml).
2. Compute the price per litre.
3. Check the validity dates. Many end on 1 or 8 November.
4. Check delivery thresholds and fees.
5. Check return policies, since some stores do not accept returns.

Product (listed)	Store	Price	Per litre
Hennessy VS 750 ml	Shoprite Liquor	R509.99	R679.99
Hennessy VS 750 ml	Johnny's	R519.90	R693.20
Johnnie Walker Red 750 ml	Johnny's	R239.90	R319.87
Gordon's Gin 750 ml	Johnny's	R159.90	R213.20
Jagermeister Orange 750 ml	Shoprite Liquor	R299.99	R399.99

On the one brand we can compare directly, Shoprite Liquor's Hennessy VS at R509.99 is R9.91 below Johnny's R519.90, a difference of about 1.9%. That is small, so the choice may come down to delivery, convenience and the wider basket.

Safety and the law

• No alcohol sales to anyone under 18.
• The driving limit is 0.05 g per 100 ml of blood.
• Buy only from licensed stores and avoid illicit alcohol.

Why the right name matters when you search

When a name does not match a real business, search engines pull results from other countries and from unrelated businesses, which wastes time and can lead you to scams. If you saw "Superstore Liquor" on a poster, a WhatsApp message or a social media post, check the exact name, the town and the licence details. A genuine South African liquor store should display its liquor licence number, which Johnny's does on its website along with its VAT number. If a page offers very low prices on premium spirits, no licence details and a request for payment by EFT to a personal account, treat it as a possible scam.

If you cannot find the shop, use a store finder from a chain you know. Shoprite Liquor, Pick n Pay Liquor, tops! at SPAR and Boxer Liquors all have store locators. Check their opening hours, which are set by municipal by-laws and licence conditions. Compare prices for the specific bottle you want, since a special on a bottle you do not buy is no use. Finally, remember that the legal minimum age is 18 and that you should never buy alcohol for someone under 18. If you suspect illicit or counterfeit alcohol, report it to the police or the Department of Trade, Industry and Competition.
