Somerset Mall: Your Favourite Spot is Getting an Upgrade
Can you feel that buzz of excitement in the air? Something amazing is coming! If you've been to Somerset Mall recently, you might’ve seen the subtle changes, the shielded construction zones, and the whispers about new stores, and we want to let you in on the secret: we’re expanding, and we're doing it all for you.
And no, you won’t have to worry about your shopping experience being interrupted while we work because we’re doing it in a way that ensures our customers still have access to everything they need! Now, let’s get into what you can expect from our ambitious new era.
The New Era Begins November 2025
Mark your calendars! In November 2025, we’ll be launching phase one of our expansion. We'll be adding over 5 000m² of brand new retail space and welcoming 26 new stores to the family. It’s all about creating a more diverse and thrilling mix of brands that truly reflect the dynamic shoppers we serve.
Our expansion is our way of bringing in a new selection of retailers that we know you've been waiting for. We’ve been listening, and we’ve been careful about the brands we’ve chosen. We want to be sure that every new store aligns with the incredible energy and spirit of our community.
What’s in Store for You?
The new lineup is designed to cater to every taste and lifestyle. We’re talking about big names from across the globe. Whether you're a sneakerhead or a fashionista, you'll be excited to hear that JD Sports, Adidas, Levi’s, and New Balance are joining the family. For those who love discovering unique finds, look out for trendy brands like Colourbox, Napapijri and Burnt. We’re even bringing a new kind of luxury to the racks with Safari Collection, Africa’s very own high-end fashion brand.
The expansion is all about creating a richer, more engaging experience for the whole family. Lego is set to bring a world of creativity and colour, promising endless fun for kids and adults alike. Plus, you can look forward to the return of Game and Edgars, both with fresh, updated formats. And for that perfect caffeine fix or a bite to eat, the beloved Bootlegger Coffee Company is coming too.
And the excitement doesn’t stop there. In 2026, get ready for something truly special: Freedom Interactive Park. This incredible experience is coming to Somerset Mall, promising to be an exciting place for the whole family to enjoy. It’s the kind of place where you can spend hours, making memories with friends and family.
You might also notice that some of your familiar favourites, like Computer Mania and Old Khaki, have relocated to new spots in the mall. They’re still there, just in better spots for you to enjoy.
More than Just a Mall
This expansion is about so much more than just new shops. It’s a significant investment in our community, creating hundreds of jobs during construction and more once the new stores open. It’s a commitment to our local economy and a vision for a brighter future.
We have also been quietly working on improving the existing space for our shoppers. You might have already noticed the new floor tiling that’s being installed, or the updated bathrooms that are not only more beautiful but also more eco-friendly. These are the details that matter, creating a more comfortable and cohesive environment for all of us.
You can also look forward to new amenities like a car wash and electric vehicle charging stations, making your life just a little bit easier.
A Mall with a Mission
We want to be a destination where you can stay, explore, and return to again and again. This is why we are bringing in a selection of retailers, food outlets, and entertainment concepts that give you more reasons to be with us.
As we move closer to our November 2025 opening, our focus is clear: to deliver a space that not only meets your needs today but also anticipates them for years to come. We can't wait to share it all with you. And until then, be sure to visit so that when we relaunch, you can fully appreciate our brand new vibe!
