Over the past year, Phase 2 has added even more choice, convenience and energy to Promenade Shopping Centre. From fashion and denim to fresh meat, liquor retail and national fashion brands, these tenants have become part of the everyday shopping experience for customers in Nelspruit Central and greater Mbombela.
This celebration is not only about marking one year of trading. It is about recognising the stores, teams and shoppers who have helped make Phase 2 an important part of Promenade’s continued growth.
A year of more choice for shoppers
A shopping centre becomes stronger when it gives customers more reasons to visit. Phase 2 has done exactly that.
With tenants such as Roots Butchery, Liquor City, Fashion Fusion, Evolve Denim and Foschini Woman, shoppers now have access to a wider mix of everyday essentials, fashion finds and lifestyle shopping in one convenient location. These stores are listed as part of the centre’s retail mix on the Promenade Shopping Centre retail directory, showing how Phase 2 has strengthened the centre’s overall tenant offering.
For customers, this means more variety under one roof. Whether someone is stopping by for quality meat, picking up an outfit, browsing denim, shopping for fashion essentials or preparing for a weekend gathering, Phase 2 has helped make Promenade a more complete shopping destination.
It has also strengthened the centre’s role as a place where people can shop practically, conveniently and affordably.
Celebrating the Phase 2 tenants
Each Phase 2 tenant brings something different to the centre.
Roots Butchery has become a go-to stop for shoppers looking for fresh meat and value-driven everyday food purchases. The Roots brand positions itself as a reliable meat retailer and wholesale butchery in South Africa, offering products such as beef, poultry, seafood, groceries and more. For many families, a reliable butchery is an essential part of the weekly shopping routine, and Roots Butchery adds that important convenience to the centre.
Liquor City brings a strong lifestyle and occasion-based offering to Promenade. Whether customers are preparing for a celebration, a family gathering, a braai or a quiet weekend at home, Liquor City adds another practical reason for shoppers to visit. Its national retail offering includes wine, whisky, beer and other liquor categories, making it a familiar stop for shoppers planning social occasions or weekend essentials.
Fashion Fusion has helped expand the fashion offering at the centre, giving customers access to clothing options that are accessible, stylish and suited to everyday wear. The brand’s online categories include women’s fashion, men’s fashion, kidswear, fragrances, brands and sale items, which supports Promenade’s position as a place where shoppers can find fashion without having to travel far.
Evolve Denim adds a focused denim and casualwear offering to the retail mix. Denim remains one of the most versatile wardrobe staples, and having a dedicated denim destination gives shoppers more choice when looking for everyday style. Its presence also adds personality to Phase 2 by giving shoppers a more trend-led casual fashion stop within the centre.
Foschini Woman brings a trusted national fashion presence to Phase 2. Foschini is positioned around women’s fashion, beauty products and accessories, making it a strong addition for customers looking for clothing, beauty and wardrobe essentials. As part of The Foschini Group, the brand is also recognised for its fashionable and contemporary clothing in a modern retail environment, as highlighted on the TFG brand page.
Together, these stores have helped Phase 2 become more than an extension of the centre. They have helped it become a meaningful part of the Promenade shopping experience.
More than retail: part of the community
The first year of a store is always important. It is the year when customers discover the brand, staff build relationships with regular shoppers and the store becomes part of local routines.
At Promenade, Phase 2 has grown into a space that supports everyday shopping, family needs, personal style and local convenience. Customers who visit the centre are not only supporting national and regional brands; they are also supporting the teams who serve them every day.
This is what makes the Phase 2 birthday worth celebrating. It is a reminder that shopping centres are shaped by people — the tenants who open their doors each morning, the staff who assist customers, and the shoppers who choose to return.
A reason to visit this July
Customers can take a birthday shopping trail through the centre by visiting the Phase 2 stores, exploring fashion options, stocking up on essentials and supporting the tenants who have been part of Promenade’s growth over the past year.
Start with fashion at Foschini Woman and Fashion Fusion, explore denim and casualwear at Evolve Denim, pick up fresh meat and grocery essentials at Roots Butchery, and complete your celebration shopping at Liquor City. It is a simple way to experience how Phase 2 has added more choice to the centre.
It is also the perfect time to rediscover what Phase 2 has brought to Promenade. If you have not visited these stores recently, July is a great opportunity to stop by, browse, shop and celebrate the milestone with them.
Looking ahead
One year later, Phase 2 has already made a valuable contribution to Promenade Shopping Centre’s retail mix. It has added convenience, strengthened the fashion category and created more reasons for shoppers to choose Promenade for everyday needs.
As the centre continues to grow as a retail destination in Mbombela, the Phase 2 tenants remain an important part of that journey.
This July, Promenade Shopping Centre proudly celebrates Roots Butchery, Liquor City, Fashion Fusion, Evolve Denim and Foschini Woman — and thanks every shopper who has supported them during their first year.
Happy first birthday to the Phase 2 tenants. Here’s to more shopping, more convenience and more moments at Promenade Shopping Centre.
