MISCONCEPTIONS VERSUS REALITY


Misconception: Middle market consumers have little disposable income and only buy cheaper brands.

Reality: The middle market has buying power of R11 billion and there’s a growing demand for high-end stores.



Misconception: Middle market and township malls are small and unattractive with limited stores.

Reality: The average size of mall developments in middle market areas has increased from 6 500m² GLA to almost 20 000m² GLA post 1994.


Misconception: Middle market and township malls detract from the value of the community.

Reality: Employment opportunities are created as stores recruit and employ people from the local community.

Informal traders benefit from the infrastructure investment as well as the extra security and footfall the mall attracts.

Malls are community hubs, offering a safe, pleasant and convenient place for consumers to shop and socialise.
