This is a big deal. PnP is a genuinely huge grocery chain. I suspect the amount of Bitcoin spent will be very small, but it makes it possible to live almost entirely from Bitcoin almost anywhere in the country.
If they see good economics from doing it, maybe they’ll even run promotions or partner with a Bitcoin wallet.
I’m going to SA again later this year, and looking forward to trying it out!
