Profile

Grove Retail Design is led by Daniel Grové, a Johannesburg-based retail development consultant with more than 30 years of practical experience in supermarket, QSR, and food retail projects.

His work sits between layout development, design coordination, working drawings, format development, rollout support, and the practical decisions that determine whether a project opens cleanly and performs properly.

Career experience includes senior roles and project delivery linked to SPAR South Africa, SPAR Nigeria, and SPAR Switzerland. This includes supermarket development, multi-site rollout work, new format development, flagship stores, working drawings, supplier coordination, and implementation support across South Africa, wider Africa, Europe, India, and the Middle East.

This is an owner-led practice built for clients who need experienced, practical input rather than layers of process. Grove Retail Design helps clients define projects clearly, reduce avoidable rework, improve coordination, and move from concept into buildable, commercially workable information.
