Clicks Health & Beauty and Pharmacy

Clicks is South Africa's leading health, beauty, and wellness retailer. Founded in 1968 by Jack Goldin, the brand was initially intended to be a drugstore but operated as a department store until the South African government changed legislation regarding pharmacy ownership. Since then, it has grown into a massive network of retail outlets and pharmacies across Southern Africa.

While Clicks sources a wide variety of international and local third-party brands, its extensive range of private-label products is manufactured largely within South Africa to support local industry. However, specialized items and certain cosmetic components are sourced from multiple countries globally to ensure quality and competitive pricing. The brand remains a cornerstone of the South African retail landscape, listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange.

The brand is currently owned by the Clicks Group Limited, which serves as the ultimate holding company. The group has expanded significantly through strategic acquisitions and organic growth, maintaining a dominant market position in the pharmaceutical wholesale and retail sectors in the region.
