BREAKING NEWS: At a press conference ongoing at Pick n Pay head office in Cape Town this morning, 12 November 2007, it was announced that the 40-year-old Pick n Pay brand has been revamped.

But Pick n Pay is emphasising that the new brand strategy is about more than just a new font and new colours. It includes a total brand essence and media revamp, including the brand line: ‘Inspired by you'.
