OK Bazaars

I was at Limone (a ski resort) in the Italian Alps. Walking throught the town I came around a corner and saw this shop called OK Market.

It was just too close and coincidental to South Africa’s OK Bazaars, a chain which is almost a copy of the Woolworth’s concept in Europe and USA. In S Africa however, Woolworths is funded and operated as Marks and Spancers. Woolworths market only M&S product ranges under the St Michael brand and are reknowned for quality foodstuffs, have similar shop layouts and instore signage and advertising. Standards are as good as UK’s M&S.

I like the conflict of the heart in the O (denoting healthy products kind to the heart) versus what I can only presume are very sugary Xmas cakes in the window.

not a lot of St michaels in woolies anymore…pretty much almost entirely a private label brand now…apart from cleaning products and some beauty stuff.

And not many OK Bazaars left either.
