Carvalho is the owner of the rapidly growing convenience store Plus, a partner in several shopping centres, a hotel or two, a beverage company and more.When he was 14, he was shipped across the Atlantic from Madeira to join his dad at the family’s Elandsfontein convenience store. He leapt in and worked for his dad for two years.
Carvalho saved and bought out the partner when he was 18. Now, 27 years later there are 32 Plus convenience stores – and that’s only in Gauteng. He said that growth into other provinces will roll out eventually, but he is taking his time. Jose Carvalho, the owner of Plus Express in his Rosedene branch, 27 May 2022.
