New mall opens its doors in uMdloti
The new retail space will not only offer convenience to local shoppers from the surrounding areas but will act as a platform for local businesses to thrive.
THE Sibaya node has seen much activity over recent years, and the catalytic projects undertaken in the area are continuing despite setbacks faced in the KZN province over the past two years.
One of those projects has been the opening of Marine Walk Shopping Centre in uMdloti last week.
The new retail space will not only offer convenience to local shoppers from the surrounding areas but will act as a platform for local businesses to thrive.
Project lead on the Marine Walk Shopping Centre, Devmco Group’s Brad Winstanley, believes that convenience and connection are two of the most important factors for people looking to change and improve their lifestyles.
“We have set our sights on improving the quality of life for people in the area through this shopping centre. We are proud to have created a curated collection of retailers in a safe shopping space, with an open-air courtyard and restaurants that spill out into nature. It is a space that inspires relaxation, entertainment, and connection,” he said.
“We have purposefully looked to include tenants in the centre who make up some of South Africa’s most popular and loved brands like Dischem, Kauai, Mr Price, Woolworths, Spar, Milady’s and Mugg & Bean. We have also hand-picked a number of owner-run and managed establishments and stores that are considered local treasures.”
uMdloti family-run business Casa Nostra have relocated their popular restaurant to the new shopping centre that has established a reputation and following in the community for 27 years.
In addition to local favourites such as Waxy O’Connors, Moustache Barber, Petland and Frozen For You, shoppers will get to enjoy the very first Woolworths W.Edit store in KZN.
Similarly, a new SUPERSPAR Salta will welcome local residents to a flagship store.
“It has been a privilege to work with a blank canvas and build a SUPERSPAR from scratch at the Marine Walk Shopping Centre”, said Paul Jason, co-owner of SUPERSPAR Salta. “Our vision is to exceed customers’ expectations through unbelievable service and an extraordinary shopping experience.”
