For more than three decades, Evergreens the Fresh Market has been redefining access to quality food by bringing the traditional fresh produce market experience closer to communities. Established in 1984, the company has grown from its Pretoria roots into a pioneering force that directly benefits residents and farmers alike.
The Pretoria Market facility laid the foundation, but it was the launch of the Kempton Park Mega Market that cemented Evergreens’ reputation as a game-changer. Strategically located just off the R21, this 25,000sqm facility is now the largest independent fresh market in the Southern Hemisphere. By dealing directly with both large and small-scale farmers, Evergreens ensures freshness, while providing farmers with reliable market access and fair opportunities to grow their businesses.
Beyond scale, Evergreens is making a difference through innovation. Their state-of-the-art CO² refrigeration system and installation of 2,000 solar panels ensure consistent cold chain management, while offering green solutions that reduce reliance on Eskom. These investments not only keep produce fresh but also demonstrate a commitment to sustainability, directly impacting local consumers who benefit from stable pricing and uninterrupted supply.
Accessibility is another cornerstone of Evergreens’ value. With thousands of trolleys, over 3,000 parking bays, and fast off-loading facilities, shopping is efficient and convenient for families and bulk buyers alike. With more than 420,000 loyalty customers across Pretoria and Kempton Park, Evergreens has become more than just a market—it’s a trusted community hub where affordability, variety, and quality meet.
By combining farmer partnerships, green innovation, and community-focused retail, Evergreens continues to live by its motto: “Everything for everyone, every day.”
