JOHANNESBURG BRANCH

Dry Goods Distribution from Our Johannesburg Warehouse

On The Run Marketing is a food distributor in Johannesburg supplying dry goods, food-service packaging and cleaning chemicals to the trade since 2007. We run from our own warehouse at The Gables Commercial Park in Wychwood, holding more than 2,000 stocked lines on site.

We are a distributor, not an agent placing your order with somebody else. Stock sits in our building, orders are picked and checked by our own team, and deliveries leave on our own scheduled routes.

Our Cape Town warehouse covers the Western Cape separately. We do not currently deliver into KwaZulu-Natal, the Eastern Cape or the Free State, and we would rather tell you that up front than take an order we cannot service properly.

Weekly Scheduled Delivery Routes

Deliveries run on fixed weekly routes rather than on demand. Each area has a set delivery day, so you know which day your stock arrives and can order to a cycle instead of running emergency top-ups at retail prices.

One Account

Dry goods, packaging and cleaning chemicals on a single order, a single delivery and a single invoice.

Questions We Get Asked

Do you hold your own stock, or do you order it in?

We hold our own. The Johannesburg warehouse carries over 2,000 lines on site. We can source a line we do not stock if you need it, but that fills a gap rather than being how we normally trade.

Is there a minimum order?

Order quantities are set per account, based on what you buy and where you sit on our delivery routes. Call +27 11 613 6903 and we will set it out clearly before you open an account.

Do you deliver to Limpopo, Mpumalanga and North West?

Yes. The Johannesburg branch covers the full inland region, which includes Limpopo, Mpumalanga and North West alongside Gauteng, all on weekly scheduled routes.

Can you supply packaging and cleaning products as well as food?

Yes, and most of our customers take all three. Dry goods, food-service packaging and cleaning chemicals come off one account, one delivery and one invoice.

Are you food safety certified?

Yes. Our system is certified by Intertek under the FSA scheme following the GFSI Global Markets programme, covering receiving, storage, handling and distribution. Certificate 0249980 is valid until 17 June 2027.

How long have you been trading?

Since 2007. Our Cape Town branch opened in 2023 to serve the Western Cape.
