Due to its age and the fact that the store had  been added to piecemeal, it had to be upgraded to be in line with new branches.

SGH, in partnership with Dolsid Investments, purchased the whole block in Gezina and the project to construct the new store started in 2018, whilst the old one continued trading next to it. 

The new store opens in December 2020, and once the development is completed, the old store will be flattened. Because of the site’s location on Steve Biko Road, there is currently poor visibility of the store.

 The future parking and new retail  centre have been designed to rectify this, and there are plans in place concerning the consolidation of the service roads leading to the development.  Some of the new tenants will include West Pack, Petzone, Eskort, ACDC Express, Sea Harvest and Woodlands Dairy.
