Welcome to Hoppie's

Superior braai products. Superior service.

Hoppie's Distribution — also known as Hoppie's Braaiwood — has been the Eastern Cape's braai-wood specialist since 2005. We've since grown the range to cover everything South Africans need for a proper braai: charcoal, briquettes, firelighters, drum braais and wholesale plastic bags.

We hold the sole rights to distribute the Sudwest range across the Eastern Cape, and you'll find our products at leading retailers in Gqeberha, Jeffreys Bay and Uitenhage. The business has grown a lot over the years — but we still believe the customer comes first.
