The first phase of The Village Centre was completed in February 2002 with 12 Line shops and secured Pick n Pay as the anchor tenant.
The second phase was opened in December 2003 and included additional 9 line shops and final phase was opened in February 2010. All in all there are 27 shops covering approximately 5 400m2 offering a true "one stop shop" and thus a complete and more convenient shopping experience.
The Village Centre features contemporary Village architecture, covered and paved pathways, a Village Corner and a Village Walk style shopping areas.
The safety of shoppers features prominently, and with this in mind, there is a cctv system and control room. This feature, together with competent and customer-friendly security personnel, means that the entire shopping centre is covered 24 hours a day. Other features include paraplegic access to all shops.
Close to 150 jobs have been created and community involvement and benefit are pivotal to The Village Centre - from using local suppliers for the development, building and leasing aspects, to regular specials and a weekly Pensioners' Day.
In every way possible we have tried to create a shopping centre that works with, as well as for, the residents of the surrounding areas.
