Krept & Konan are opening an “inclusive” supermarket

UK rap duo Krept & Konan have announced that they are open­ing an ​“inclu­sive” super­mar­ket in Croy­don, cater­ing to Black, Asian and eth­nic communities.

Save­ways will fea­ture 15,000 sq. ft of space, with pro­duce from across the world, an in-store bak­ery, coun­ters for halal meat and fish, and cos­met­ics includ­ing Afro hair and beau­ty prod­ucts. It will open on Feb­ru­ary 1.

The pair, who have announced a new album set to release on Feb­ru­ary 7, Young Kingz II, as well as per­form­ing at the 2025 MOBO Awards on Feb­ru­ary 8, are team­ing up with Kaysor Ali on the venture.

Com­ment­ing on the launch, Krept & Konan said: ​“It’s an hon­our for us to part­ner up on this venture. 

“We are all about rep­re­sen­ta­tion in the com­mu­ni­ty and find­ing solu­tions, we are all from under­rep­re­sent­ed com­mu­ni­ties so this is a per­fect part­ner­ship,” they con­tin­ued. ​“Save­ways is game-chang­ing for our com­mu­ni­ty and we are excit­ed to bring this vision to life.”

Kaysor Ali said: ​“Togeth­er, we’ve com­bined our skills, net­works and pas­sion to cre­ate a super­mar­ket expe­ri­ence that not only serves the com­mu­ni­ty but sets a new stan­dard for qual­i­ty, inclu­siv­i­ty and excel­lence in the UK food retail space.”

He added: ​“This part­ner­ship has allowed Save­ways to become more than just a super­mar­ket, it’s a state­ment of cul­ture, uni­ty and progress for our communities.”
