Stoneridge Centre set to unveil its mini facelift

The Stoneridge Centre will unveil its newly upgraded Restaurant Court on Friday, September 23.

The centre now boasts a new, covered Food Court, a Spar Court and a paint job in the latest international design trend colours.

A jam-packed weekend of activities will entertain the whole family from September 23 to 25.

On September 23, one lucky customer will drive away in a brand new Kia A Picanto LS, from KIA Edenvale, sponsored by Stoneridge Centre.

The 12 finalists were drawn from the centre’s recent three-month Winter Bonanza Shop and Win till slip competition.

Eden AM 1368, Edenvale’s community radio station, will MC the event through a live broadcast.

Roarke Lessing and his team are geared up to entertain the crowds with a Heritage Evening concert.

The Dixie Hillbillies will also provide a variety of music between 8pm and 10pm.

The talented singer and songwriter Justin Serrao will perform at 7pm.

While all this is happening, the public can browse through the centre’s Starlight Market, which will be held in a shop along the new Boulevard, past the new escalator.

Shoppers can now park safely in the free basement parking area and reach the Food Court via the new escalator, from the mezzanine parking level. All parking at Stoneridge Centre is free.

Café Billi Bi will host a wine pairing on Friday evening, and a few dining vouchers will be up for grabs from them, too.

Book your spot now on 011 524 0039.

Figures Model Finesse International Bedfordview will showcase talent on Friday evening. Model entry fees will go towards the Cupcakes of Hope for Kids with Cancer cause. Stoneridge Centre will be a host venue for their IMTA South Africa Talent Search on September 24 from 10am.

September 24 is also the long awaited annual National Cupcake Day.

Stoneridge Centre has hosted this cause for the past two years, with immense fund-raising success for their cause.

Support them again by buying your colourful, sweetest treats and delights from them in the Spar Court, as well as in the new restaurant court.

A fun, charity showcase will see girls from ages three to eight competing in the Little Miss Cupcake charity showcase.

Entry fees are R50 per girl and all proceeds will go to Cupcakes of Hope for Kids with Cancer. Girls can enter ahead of time or on the day, but all entry fees are payable only in cash, on the day.

The money will be handed over to the Stoneridge organiser of Cupcakes of Hope, Anthea Koen, after the showcase.

The judges for the showcase are Juanita Jacobs, Stoneridge Centre manager; Mrs Africa 2016 finalist Tarryn Ogle; Anthea Koen, Cupcakes of Hope organiser, and Amelia Lamprecht, the owner of Princess Emporium.

First place will win a princess dress, but all participants will be winners on the day, with fun prizes and treats for all.

Figures Models Bedfordview will sponsor 100 one-month modelling vouchers, valued at R350 each.

Toys r Us Stoneridge will sponsor R1 000 worth of prizes, with plenty more fun Disney prizes from The Plastic Store at Stoneridge to hand out.

There will be loads of children’s entertainment on the day, in both the Spar and Restaurant Courts.

The Mzansi Marimba Band will entertain the crowd.

On September 25, the vibe in the Food Court will be jazzy, lazy Sunday afternoon, with Charlie King Blues.
