Tiger Brands is transforming spaza stores into eye-catching township billboards with vibrant murals showcasing its beloved brands such as ACE, Golden Cloud, Oros, and KOO. This multimillion-rand initiative is part of the food producer’s informal trade expansion, and aims to brand 2,000 stores by 2029.
