Menlyn Park Shopping Centre

Menlyn, Pretoria East

Menlyn Park is Pretoria's retail capital - a proper South African mega-mall.

Originally opened in 1979 and dramatically expanded in 2015, it is the second largest shopping centre in South Africa, home to more than 400 stores. With 1.6 million shoppers per month, an average dwell time of two hours and 95% occupancy, the commercial fundamentals are exceptional. 

In 2024 alone it received eight Gold Footprint Awards from the Shopping Centre Council of South Africa (SACSC) recognising excellence in marketing, customer service, visual merchandising and community engagement.

Anchored by Woolworths, Edgars, Checkers Hyper, Game and Food Lovers Market, the centre draws from across Pretoria and the wider Tshwane region.

It's Pretoria's biggest stage, and pop-up demand here is consistently high.
