About Makro Silver Lakes
Makro’s journey in the retail industry has been transformative, evolving from a prominent warehouse chain to introducing a user-friendly online shopping platform. The brand offers a diverse range of products, including food, the latest electronics, houseware, camping gear, and liquor. Across South Africa, 22 Makro stores provide both convenience and affordability to local communities and businesses. The addition of e-commerce extends Makro’s offerings and value-added services to a wider audience.
Since its inaugural store in 1971 in Germiston, Makro has experienced significant growth. It was South Africa’s first cash-and-carry store, utilizing advanced technology for inventory and sales management. By 1989, under the leadership of MD Mark Lamberti, the brand expanded, laying the foundation for Massmart, a leading wholesale and retail group, with Makro as its cornerstone. The renowned Woodmead store, established in 1993, stands out as a key retail destination in Johannesburg’s northern suburbs.
The 2011 merger with Massmart and the global retail giant Walmart further diversified Makro’s offerings, enhancing the variety and affordability of its products. 2014 marked a significant step in Makro’s digital progression with the launch of its e-commerce platform, further enriching the customer shopping experience with the convenience of online browsing and purchasing.

WORST SERVICE I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCES FROM ANY COMPANY!!!!
Placed an order on 3 February 2026 – after being told by the WUMDROP drivers that they cant deliver to this address because it’s further that the km’s they are paid for, both returned the order to Silverlakes. I have been phoning and trying to find out regarding the refund for Order MAK0118518, but still have not received it 3 months later! Now another order what not delivered MAK0155814 and i’m wondering HOW LONG I WILL HAVE TO WAIT FOR THIS REFUND. So MAKRO SILVERLAKES is owing Nico Van Rooyen Taxidermy R9595.73 now….
