Massmart’s Makro is set to open its 23rd store on April 23 this time in Gonubie, East London.
This is the first time Makro has opened a new store since 2019, and this expansion brings the retailer’s signature value, selection, and convenience to a thriving local business hub known for its family-friendly atmosphere and holiday appeal for travellers.
Located in one of the Eastern Cape’s fastest-growing business hubs, the new store will serve local families, entrepreneurs and local businesses, as well as holidaymakers, reinforcing the brands commitment to meeting customer needs.
Having been considered the most affordable retailer on an essential grocery basket for most of 2024 according to independent research, Makro’s store will bring this offering of fresh and pantry food items to the community without compromising on quality.
Other key departments include clothing, electronics and appliances, outdoor and sports, homeware and furniture, DIY, toys, as well as liquor, which will be offered through a standalone liquor store adjacent to the main store.
As an omnichannel retail destination, customers in the area will also be able to shop through Makro’s app and website, with an option to either order online and pick-up the next day or request delivery in two days.
Customers also qualify for free delivery for large items within a 20km radius of the store for in-store purchases. “We are thrilled to launch our newest Makro store in East London,” Makro interm vice president Duval van Rhyn said.
“This is a move we have been working on for some time, and one that has been highly requested by shoppers in the area. We have created more than 200 new jobs within this store, further contributing to the local economy.”
To celebrate the grand opening, customers can expect exclusive promotions and in-store experiences. The store is set to become a key retail destination for local customers, businesses and holidaymakers, entrenching the brand’s presence in the Eastern Cape.
