New shopping mecca on the bay shore

27 Feb 2009

Eden on the Bay promises to be a unique new shopping and lifestyle destination in the Cape when it opens its doors on 26 March 2009. This mixed-use development is situated on a prime location on the shore of Blouberg's Big Bay, with no road separating the building from the beach, and will host a selection of upmarket stores and restaurants.

Eden on the Bay will be anchored by Pick n Pay Family Store and Clicks Pharmacy. The highlight of the retail mix is a cosmopolitan selection of eateries including Moyo (opening later this year).

The restaurants, with expansive views of Table Mountain, include Ocean Basket and Ciao Baby Cucina. Like Moyo, these eateries will all have outside seating, spilling out onto a large deck bordering a lawned public picnic area. The retail story - a total of 60 outlets - represents all the categories, from a food court, service outlets, fashion and accessories, health and beauty, and ATMs.

Service outlets include Flight Centre, Interafrica Bureau de Change, Laundry@Eden, Blue Mountain Internet Café, MTN and ATMs representing the four major banks.

To add to the convenience, veterinary outlet About Cats & Dogs, Bargain Books, Homely Corner Curios and Vee's Video will also open in the centre.

The fashion category will feature surf lifestyle outlets Slingshot Cape Town, Ka'na Surfboards, Surf Zone and Wave Rock. Shoe store Belevante and Mediterraneo clothing and accessories will add a touch of exclusivity to the mix.

Shoppers can look forward to one-of-a-kind outlets such as Zen Aesthetic Dental Spa. Here dental care services are offered in a spa environment - a concept that is new to South Africa. Other health and beauty stores include Exquisite Eyes, Tandem Hair and Smoothe.

Take-out favourites such as KFC and Snoekies are situated in the Surfer's Court - a food court with direct beach access.

There will be no shopping rush at this lifestyle centre with its village atmosphere, dining destinations and everyday convenience for tourists and locals alike.
