A Symphony of Art and Shopping: Somerset Mall’s Transformative Makeover

Somerset Mall, located in the scenic Helderberg region of Western Cape, has been a favorite shopping destination for many years, offering a diverse range of retail and dining options. However, in a bid to keep up with changing consumer demands and preferences, the mall has embarked on a significant redevelopment project that aims to enhance its overall tenant offering and aesthetic appeal.

New Culinary Experiences

A critical part of the redevelopment project is the introduction of new dining experiences that cater to the diverse tastes of shoppers. The Tallahassee Spur has undergone a complete revamp, now offering exceptional service, a comfortable ambiance and mouthwatering dishes that make it a perfect place for families to bond over delicious meals.

Rocomamas, a trendy gourmet burger restaurant, has also opened its doors at Entrance 4, bringing a fresh and innovative vibe to Somerset Mall’s dining scene. Its contemporary ambiance and eclectic menu make it an exciting addition for those looking for a unique culinary experience.

Expanded Retail Landscape

To cater to art enthusiasts and stationery aficionados, the popular PNA store has moved to a more convenient location near Entrance 1, adjacent to Wimpy. This strategic shift allows shoppers to easily access the store and explore their artistic inspiration.

Somerset Mall’s commitment to excellence in grocery shopping is further strengthened by the forthcoming addition of Checkers Fresh X, set to open in November 2023. The store is known for its wide range of fresh, locally-sourced products, and will undoubtedly elevate the mall’s grocery shopping experience.

Artistic Elegance

Somerset Mall has partnered with renowned artist and sculptor Marco Olivier to add a touch of artistic elegance to its atmosphere. His internationally celebrated art pieces, including Surrender Man, Harmony, This is me, The Whale Tale, and The Celestial Trio are now on display, adding a new dimension to the mall’s shopping experience.

Redefining the Shopping Experience

The redevelopment project promises to transform Somerset Mall into something truly extraordinary, offering an elevated shopping experience that seamlessly fuses culture and commerce. With aesthetic upgrades, new dining options, an expanded retail landscape, and a partnership with an esteemed artist, Somerset Mall is set to redefine shopping with style and grace.

As the premier shopping destination in the Helderberg region, the mall’s transformation beckons new and loyal patrons alike to immerse themselves in its symphony of art and commerce.
