When farms battle, Free State retail does, too

Bloemfontein, Free State, SA - The Free State is taking strain economically and politically.

If the “platteland“ (agriculture) suffers, we feel it in retail in Bloemfontein.

Bloemfontein has got a big middle class economy, but they’re also battling.

But in spite of that, business has been fair.

Our coastal branches – Knysna, George and PE – are doing exceptionally well.

For Black Friday and the festive season, we focus more on major and small appliances and electronics and we are gearing ourselves for a good November and December.
