ADVERTORIAL - Obs PnP always there to lend a helping hand

“Doing Good is Good Business.” This is the core cultural value of Observatory Pick n Pay Family Supermarket, said Umberto de Abreu, owner of Obs PnP.

The Obs Pick n Pay staff and management have thus invested in many local, social causes.

The store particularly supports Straatwerk, an organisation who run an employment program for street people by offering them work as cleaners.

Straatwerk works mainly in the neighbouring Groote Schuur CID (GCID).

“The Observatory Improvement District (OBSID) and the GCID collaborate well and thus this [relationship] benefits everyone,” said Umberto. Obs Pick n Pay regularly donates food to Straatwerk.

“We also do everything possible to help our staff develop themselves,” Umberto said.

For example, Obs Pick n Pay’s most cheerful staffer, Cherylene Brown, started as a till packer and is now a customer service agent.

Umberto said they have a culture of genuine service, adding that they sincerely care about people and the community.

“The real purpose of our business is not to just earn money, but to help each other, serve each other,” he said.
