Mall of Africa celebrates it third birthday with launch of monthly antique fair
MIDRAND – Celebrate with Mall of Africa on their third birthday this Sunday, 28 April.
The last three years, Mall of Africa has fast become the centre of shopping excellence with a rejuvenation of retail shopping and on 28 April marks their third-year success of trading, with shoppers receiving free parking on their birthday.
The centre has launched a new monthly event which will take place on the last Sunday of every month – an antique fair. The fair showcases antiques and the best collectables, as collectors can browse around and meet top antique dealers, find that special piece to add to a collection or even simply enjoy the relaxed atmosphere of the fair while admiring the many treasures of the past.
General manager for the Mall of Africa, Johann Fourie said there is a global trend to add entertainment and event experiences to the retail market as well as efforts to revolutionise the shopping centre to adapt consumer’s changing habits towards the retail world.
“Shoppers, especially in South Africa, still find shopping malls safe havens to shop and enjoy their leisure time and as The Mall of Africa draws shoppers from a wide catchment area beyond its immediate perimeter, these visitors want to spend more time shopping, enjoying the experience and being catered to and entertained.”
In addition to hosting National Antiques and Decorative Arts Faire (NAADA Faire) for the past two years, the monthly antique fair organiser Clyde Terry said, “There is a worldwide trend in ‘going green’ by rediscovering, recycling and preserving the craftsmanship and history of antiques and collectables of the past.”
He added that TV shows such as Pawn Stars and Antique Roadshow have renewed interest in collectable treasures.
