TFG Group’s stores didn’t just appear overnight. The journey began in 1925 when George Ivan Rosenthal opened the first Foschini store in Johannesburg. Fast forward to today, and TFG has grown into a global retail powerhouse with a presence in Africa, Europe, and Australia.

The group’s success lies in its strategic acquisitions and ability to adapt to changing consumer needs. From acquiring iconic brands like Markham and Sterns to launching innovative platforms like Bash, TFG has consistently stayed ahead of the curve.


How Many Stores Does TFG Operate?

As of 2025, TFG stores span over 3,600 locations across its 26 retail brands. These include household names like Foschini, Jet, Sportscene, and @home. While the exact number of stores per brand isn’t publicly disclosed, the integrated approach ensures a seamless shopping experience for customers.

In South Africa alone, TFG’s footprint is massive. The recent addition of JD Sports to its portfolio further cements its position as a leader in the retail space.
