Mall of the North - Polokwane
Bendor, Polokwane, Limpopo
Mall of the North is Limpopo's super-regional shopping destination of choice. It serves not just the city but the entire Limpopo region: Phalaborwa, Tzaneen, Louis Trichardt and Mokopane all fall within its trading area, with cross-border shoppers from Botswana and Zimbabwe adding an international dimension that few South African malls outside the metros can claim.
Opened in April 2011, the mall has grown its footfall consistently year-on-year. Shoppers come for the range: local independent fashion brands like Freedom of Movement, Bathu and Galxboy sit alongside H&M, Lacoste, iStore and all the major South African anchors. What they stay for is the experience.
The mall has won multiple awards and its community-rooted, family-friendly character is well established.
