Clicks Group
On the 6th of August, 1968, a visionary retailer known as Jack Goldin started the first store in Saint George’s street in Cape Town. The plan was to run it as a drugstore, but due to the restrictive legislation on the operation of pharmacies in the country back then, the dream was not realized until after 35 years.
Clicks Group is a retail-led healthcare group that has been listed on the JSE Limited since 1996. Through market-leading retail brands Clicks, GNC, The Body Shop, and Claire’s, the group has over 850 stores across southern Africa.
After the name of the company was changed to Clicks Group Limited in 2009 on the JSE, its listing was transferred to the Food and Drug Retailers sector.
There are various hundreds of Clicks pharmacy stores in Southern Africa, including Botswana, Namibia, Lesotho, and Eswatini. Presently, Clicks pharmacy headquarter is located in Cape Town.
Clicks Group is a leader in the healthcare market where Clicks has the largest retail pharmacy chain with over 640 in-store pharmacies, while United Pharmaceutical Distributors (UPD) is South Africa’s leading full-range national pharmaceutical wholesaler.
