As an independent family-owned business the Kit Kat Group has seen great evolution over the past 50 years and even more in the most recent decade.  Founded in 1953 by members of the Gani family, this independent wholesaler and retailer started off as the Kit Kat Café and Restaurant. Over the years, the well-established business grew in success as the café was converted into a self-service supermarket in 1973 and is still currently growing from strength to strength. Kit Kat has been able to successfully expand their store footprint around Gauteng Allowing for the expansion of their brand and stores into Limpopo through their Kit Kat Express model at the end of 2021.  Kit Kat is amongst the very few independent wholesalers to have an effective and functioning fully operating online store that caters to all shoppers.  An interesting development resulted in Kit Kat partnering with Food Lovers Market to drive growth and success with the Fresh division of their business. With its focus on partnerships, building strong relationships with suppliers and customers as well as its investment in ecommerce, data and technology, The Kit Kat Group is well positioned to continue with its growth path for the foreseeable future.
