Mayor of the Merafong City Local Municipality, Mogale-Letsie, and directors of Bentel Group officially opened Carletonville Mall ahead of the monthend weekend and in time for the December holidays. Festivities continued into the weekend with a carnival and other activities.
“Carletonville Mall is a landmark development for us and we are thrilled to open a mall which the community can be proud of. With more than 80 retail stores, eateries and service outlets, Carletonville Mall will offer the best shopping variety and experience in the area,” says Bentel.
“This major development has not only created much needed jobs, but will see spend being retained in Carletonville, with locals not having to travel out of town or to multiple retail stores to fulfil their shopping needs.”
He says Carletonville Mall has been designed with the shopper in mind, with ample parking, three entrances and an easy-to-negotiate layout.
“All this will make shopping at the mall a convenient and pleasurable experience,” says Bentel.
The mall is on a prime site on Station Road, which has direct access to the R501 primary provincial road to Potchefstroom in North West Province.
With a new railway bridge, road interchange and pedestrian access bridge being built near the new Carletonville Mall, access to the centre for shoppers will be significantly improved and travel time reduced, says Bentel.
A new road, the extension to Grundling Street, has been constructed linking to the mall and giving easy vehicle access to the suburbs of Carletonville.
Anchor tenants at the mall include Pick n Pay, Choppies Supermarket, Woolworths and Cashbuild. Further national tenants include Truworths, Clicks, Identity, Exact, Mr Price, Sportscene, PEP, Ackermans, Tekkie Town, Rage, The Crazy Store, Jam Clothing, Studio 88, Ideals, Tiger Wheel and Tyre, Lewis Furnishers and Joshua Doore, amongst others.
Roots Butchery and Liquor City have also established a strong presence at the mall, while eateries and fast food outlets include Mochachos, Captain DoRegos, Chesanyama and many more. Absa and Capitec will provide full banking services supported by a multitude of ATMs by other banks.
“Carletonville’s current retail offering is widely spread throughout the CBD. The new mall provides a centralised and convenient shopping experience for all and increases the variety and quality of shopping for the region,” says Bentel.
