A new upmarket Checkers store in Johannesburg is introducing Xpress smart trolleys as the retailer expands its technology offering to South African shoppers.

Shopping on Eastway opened on 1 October 2026, and is positioned towards Midstream’s higher-income market, with a dedicated sushi bar, wine section and wellness area.

One of the most exciting features of the new store is its Xpress smart trolleys, which are expected to be rolled out within the next few days.

The Xpress Trolley was developed by the ShopriteX innovation team and allows customers to scan and pack products while shopping, track their spending and pay without visiting a traditional till.

The technology was first tested with Shoprite employees at Checkers Hyper Brackenfell in Cape Town from mid-August.

Ten trolleys are now being made available at that store, with another 10 at Checkers Constantia (also in Cape Town). The Shopping on Eastway store will be the first in the Gauteng province to feature the technology.

The Xpress Trolley features a screen that guides customers through the shopping experience.

Shoppers start by scanning their Xtra Savings card below the screen. They then place the supplied shopping bags in the trolley and scan each product before putting it inside.

The screen displays a running total, product information and personalised promotions. It can also show shoppers where products are located inside the store, which means they don’t have to search through different sections.

Once shopping is complete, customers move to a dedicated checkout lane and pay directly from the trolley using the bank card linked to their Checkers Sixty60 profile.

They then collect a printed till slip and leave through the checkout gate without visiting a conventional till point. A concierge is available to assist where required.

Neil Schreuder, Chief Strategy and Innovation Officer at the Shoprite Group, said the technology is intended to give customers greater control over the shopping process.

“This pilot allows us to reimagine the in-store journey using technology for a more frictionless shopping experience.”

He added that the technology could also benefit Checkers Sixty60 by helping in-store shoppers complete orders more quickly and accurately.

“The Xpress Trolley enhances convenience, improves speed, and keeps customers in control from the moment they enter the store to the moment they leave.”

The trolleys are part of Shoprite’s broader strategy to connect its physical stores with its digital services.

You don't have to eat chips and burgers to know if you have a McDonald's or not in Nigeria.

After pursuing away African foreigners, let's see if the hungry and lazy south africans will patronise ShopRite which was previously blessed and developed by foreigners since their lazy youths with entitlement mentality could not work.
