Pepkor aims to expand its presence in the rest of Africa by opening 50 stores in Nigeria. In 2014 Christo Wiese sold Pepkor to Steinhoff International in exchange for about 20% of Steinhoff's issued shares. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Pepkor ceased to pay rents for its retail locations while the resultant lockdowns in South Africa prevented businesses from operating. In February 2022, South African holding company Pepkor acquired a majority stake in Brazilian retailer Grupo Avenida. The transaction, which is effective, marks the company's first foray into Latin America. (en)
