The history of Lucky Star in South Africa
Lucky Star was founded in 1958 by Premier Fishing & Brands, a subsidiary of the Premier Food Group in South Africa. The company was established to provide canned fish products, with pilchards being the flagship item. Pilchards were chosen because of their affordability, long shelf life, and widespread popularity in South African households. The brand was created to cater to a growing demand for convenient, nutritious, and accessible food options in the country. The first Lucky Star product was pilchards packed in a can, a product that would become synonymous with the brand's identity.
While Premier Fishing & Brands was behind the creation of Lucky Star, the company's success in popularizing canned fish is largely attributed to the vision of its leadership and the economic context of post-war South Africa. During the 1960s, as the country underwent rapid urbanization, the demand for easy-to-prepare, long-lasting food products increased. Lucky Star capitalized on this trend, and its signature green packaging became a household staple. Over the years, Lucky Star expanded its product range, but it was pilchards that truly cemented the brand's legacy in South African kitchens.
