From 3 Customers a Day to Organic Empire: Gary Jackson’s Journey with Jacksons Real Food Market
Loading player...
In this inspiring episode of the TechDaily Post radio show, host Rethabile Mohlala sits down with Gary Jackson, the passionate founder of Jacksons Real Food Market—a pioneering organic food brand with locations in Bryanston and Kyalami.
Gary shares his incredible journey from being a Woolworths franchisee to becoming a "real food activist" on a mission to revolutionize how Johannesburg eats. After facing personal health challenges, he identified a critical gap in the market for truly nutrient-dense, chemical-free food—the kind our grandparents ate.
This is a raw and motivating conversation for every entrepreneur and health-conscious listener. We explore:
The Humble Beginnings: How Jacksons started in a 100sqm garage, serving just three customers a day—and the mindset that kept the doors open.
Health as a Driving Force: Gary’s personal health journey and how it inspired a business built on purpose, not just profit.
The COVID Battle: The immense challenges of opening a second store right before the pandemic hit, and how Jacksons survived its toughest years.
Advice for Budding Entrepreneurs: Why patience, clarity, and customer connection matter more than instant success in the startup world.
Tasting the Difference: What makes Jacksons’ eggs, meat, and produce taste so exceptional—hint: it’s because nothing is added.
Tune in for a story of resilience, passion, and purpose—and discover why Jacksons isn’t just a store, but a movement toward healthier, more conscious living.
