The Midrand shopping scene has just expanded.
An exciting new Shoprite store is opening on Old Pretoria Road.
"The store will is opening this week on the 24th," says Wonder Wattie, the branch manager.
Wonder says the action is intended to help the retail brand to reach a wider audience and lower the nation's unemployment rate.
"We are just trying to grow our business," says the branch manager.
"We are the number one South African leading employing company. We are trying to assist people who are not working," he adds.
This will be the second Shoprite store in Halfway House.
Wattie says the old Shoprite located at Boulders Shopping Centre will still be operating.
"The store opens from 7 am until 7 pm on weekdays, on Saturday from 7 am until 6 pm, and on Sundays from 7 am until 4 pm."
Boulders is not the only shopping centre in Midrand which expanded recently.
