Maerua Lifestyle Centre Spar Supermarket
Despite it being far for some and located in what is largely seen as an upper crust side of town, the Maerua Lifestyle Centre Spar Supermarket offers one of the better shopping experiences as far as supermarkets go. It has a well organised and spacious floor plan,with good room between aisles for trolleys. It is always clean and the cashiers are friendly and polite. It also has a wider variety of food selections, for example, their gluten-free range, that not many other supermarkets have.

Pick n' Pay Chain of Supermarkets
Maybe it's the bright blue colour, or the simple marketing, but Pick n' Pay supermarkets always project an image of efficiency and good service. Some branches, like the Katutura one, could do with more attention to cleanliness, but all in all shopping at any Pick n' Pay, is a good experience. They have good month end specials and people from all walks of life feel comfortable shopping at Pick n' Pay.

Woermann & Brock chain of Supermarkets
They say that one rotten orange can ruin an entire harvest, which is true in the case of Woermann & Brock Supermarkets. The service at W & B supermarkets is not the best, where the cashiers have little to no interaction with the customers, and work in numb silence as if at a factory. Unfriendly exchanges between management and staff are also a common occurrence at some W & B supermarkets. The meat packaging at the Eros W & B is often bloody and poorly done, which is a big health risk for customers that handle the meat. W & B is also notorious for unexplainable and unadvertised price fluctuations.

The levels of supermarket concentration in Windhoek are actually very similar to those in similar-sized South African cities. The Namibian supermarket revolution is incomplete in the sense that, unlike in South Africa, it has not involved wholesale transformation of the agro-food system as a whole. Some large-scale Namibian farms (particularly in the beef and vegetables sector) have been able to take advantage of new demands from supermarkets but the overall number of local producer-beneficiaries is small. Smallholders, in particular, have not been integrated into supermarket supply chains. Government protectionism has prompted some adjustment in supermarket strategies of procurement (particularly for processed cereal products) but, as this paper shows, the vast majority of supermarket products sold in supermarkets in Windhoek are imported from South Africa. Indeed, supermarkets in Windhoek appear to be fully integrated into the same supply and distribution chains as South African cities.
