The first Nizams store was opened originally about 55 years
ago in Marabastad, Pretoria.

This store still operates successfully today as a company owned store and due to the demand to open more Nizams, 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.

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 the 90'sin Soweto, Katlehong, and Daveyton to test Nizams business formula in different areas. All the stores above are still operating.

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