Spacious new food court opens in Rosebank

Rosebank’s first food court, a 2 000m² indoor food emporium on the first floor of The Zone @ Rosebank, has opened.

The new food court, Food @ The Zone, enables moviegoers, families and entertainment lovers to relax in an open plan self-service dining space, with access to some of South Africa’s favourite fast-food vendors and sit-down restaurants.

Some of these include Panarottis, Spur, Chiapas Eat Mexican, Simply Asia, Wakaberry, Sweets from Heaven, Jimmy’s Killer Prawns and Häagen-Dazs.

The food court is situated in the same space as the centre’s entertainment complex which features Ster-Kinekor’s luxurious new Cine Prestige and The Fun Company.

“Our intention with the new area, Food @ The Zone, is to enhance the family appeal and convenience of The Zone @ Rosebank, and to add more leisure facilities to the existing cinema complex,” said Anton Bieber, portfolio manager of the Rosebank Node for Old Mutual Property.

The mixed-use mall development, owned by Old Mutual Property, also announced the addition of four new major brands to its growing fashion, food and entertainment offering. These are Kauai’s first concept store; UK’s fresh handmade cosmetics, haircare and skincare brand, Lush; apparel, shoes and accessories brand, Puma; and internationally-franchised Viva Gym. SuperSpar’s new Rosebank outlet will be opening in early 2016 in the complex.

Shoppers will also have access to a smart connect area with Wi-Fi, TVs and desk plugs.

“By refurbishing the ground and first floors of The Zone @ Rosebank, and placing the new food court on the first floor, we were able to accommodate 16 new stores in the existing space. Basically, we created a fresh, newly purposed space within the existing shopping centre,” explained Nqaba Mangcu, the project’s architect.
