Edcon is the largest retailer of clothing and footwear in Southern Africa, operating primarily through its Edgars brand. The business traces its history to 1929, when the first Edgars store opened on Joubert Street in Johannesburg. As a large employer in the region, Edcon serves a broad customer base across Southern Africa and expanded its product range in 2020 with the launch of Edgars Home, extending into home furnishings. Based in Gauteng, South Africa, the company operates within the retail sector with a long-standing presence in apparel. Edgars has a history of corporate milestones, including a 1946 listing followed by delisting in 2007. Its customer base consists of Southern Africa consumers seeking clothing and footwear, and the 2020 Edgars Home introduction marks an expansion to home products to meet evolving needs.
