Having garnered massive success since the launch of its one-hour delivery service during the Covid-19 pandemic and its associated lockdowns back in November 2019, Checkers Sixty60 undoubtedly revolutionised the realm of convenient grocery shopping.

At the time of its launch, Sixty60 promised unrivalled convenience with its name encapsulating the service’s main ambition: For customers to order groceries in 60 seconds and have them delivered in as little as 60 minutes.
What followed was what seemed like a cavalry of teal taking over the roads of South Africa, ensuring on-time delivery with every order.
And with that, our love-hate relationship with Checkers’ Sixty60 delivery bikes was born β with a plethora of viral videos to prove it.
Take a look:Β
In a hilarious video that’s gone viral on social media, a man on a motorcycle is seen zipping past some safari vehicles on a dirt road, driving right in between two lazing lions.
The motorcycle passed by so quickly that one of the lions jumped slightly. The scenario was likened to how Checkers Sixty60 drivers often ‘go the extra mile’ to get customers’ goods to them as swiftly as possible:

In another hilarious viral video, a delivery driver veers ‘off the beaten path’ onto the grassy strip alongside a highway rather than sticking to the road.
Moral of the story: If there’s an alternative route to get the goods to us timeously, we best believe Checkers’ Sixty60 drivers will use it β no matter how unconventional it may be:

Earlier this year, the Cape Winelands and surrounds were hit with several bouts of inclement weather that resulted in trucks being blown off the road, giant trees uprooted and roofs being destroyed.
Amid the chaos, not even the wind could stop Checkers’ Sixty60 from delivering:

The Checkers’ Sixty60 assignment: Deliver the goods within 60 minutes or less at all costs. Let nothing stand in your way β not even human beings:
