Now employing 265 Namibians, the renovation of Wernhil PnP, according to Managing Director, Norbert Wurm, was inspired by PnP’s commitment to create amazing customer experience and enduring impact in the industry. He added that revamping the store to new generation standard is for the benefit of the PnP customers in Windhoek – which elevates the quality of products and services offered. Wurm: “An incredible amount of work has gone into renovating the store. Therefore it is with pride that we present the New Generation Pick n Pay Wernhil store, where we create a modern, friendly environment as we serve our customers with passion. Our customers love the new layout, the space, as well as the innovation in products and packaging and when they walk into the store they
feel welcomed by the new ambient and fresh look and feel, making their shopping experience even more enjoyable.”

Morkel: “The development of the store proves that we truly live the O&L Group purpose of ‘Creating a future, enhancing life’. We understand that it is a responsibility that lies with each and every one of us to create a conducive environment for all business to grow. PnP Wernhil has not only committed to advancing our product range, service quality and customer experience, but the community as well. I am proud to be part of this amazing team who work with passion and dedication to enhance customer experience.
