The first Nizams store was started originally about 50 years
ago in Marabastad, Pretoria.

This store still operates successfully today as a company owned store and due to the demand to open more Nizam, a franchise division was developed and the expertise of Mr. Eric Parker, (formed chairman of FASA), assisted By Franchising Plus and Deloitte and Touche, ensured That our franchise system was put in place and that it will be kept abreast of new franchise developments in Southern Africa.

The Nizams franchise is a member of FASA , And Senior management of Nizams are representatives at FASA meetings.

Several more company owned stores were opened in 1997 in Soweto, Katlehong, and Daveyton to test Nizams business formula in different areas. All the stores above are still operating as company store except Katlehong(Franchise store at present). Most of these stores have increased the size of the Shop due to lack of space and turnover being lost Due to size.

Once our business test formula in these sites was proved and the franchise concept was finalized in mid 1998, we launched our Nizams Franchise opportunity at various Franchise Expo’s. Nizams was chosen as an ideal case Study at all these Expo seminars.

Today Nizams have 23 shops in various parts of South Africa (Gauteng, Northern Province, Mpumalanga , North West and Eastern Cape).
