Liberty Grocers

Liberty Grocers operates in the real world of Cape Town shopping—where load shedding can shut down larger supermarkets mid-afternoon, where locals need to think several steps ahead about what's available and where. A functioning convenience store here deals with stock rotation that accounts for the city's water restrictions, sourcing that adapts to supply chain disruptions, and staffing patterns that work around power cuts affecting neighbourhood movement. The work involves understanding what people actually buy during uncertain times: long-life goods, candles, alternative cooking essentials, things that sustain households when the usual systems falter. It's not just stocking shelves; it's reading the city's needs in real time.
