If you enjoy shopping up a storm, a veritable treasure trove of options awaits you in Claremont Central. Shoppers are extensively catered for with two connecting malls, the award-winning and stylish Cavendish Square, encompassing more than two hundred of the most elite stores in the country and Cavendish Connect (formerly The Link), which underwent a major retail revamp. The official opening of the R104-million redevelopment took place on Friday, 30 November 2008, welcoming international concept stores, fashion boutiques, trend-setting lifestyle emporiums and a range of mouth-watering restaurants and cafes. The revamped Dreyer Street informal traders’ market, which formed part of the Cavendish Connect development project, consists of 36 stalls, stocking a consistent and comprehensive range of goods from clothing, accessories, shoes, toys, wireworks and beaded products.

Alive with the buzz of people, the malls are popular meeting places for many. Customers can enjoy shopping in a trolley-free environment whilst parking undercover and can feel comfortably relaxed as they browse through leading fashion and accessory stores or visit one of the many interior and homeware shops.  There are also many smaller boutique-style clothing, décor and lifestyle stores offering a grand selection of shopping choices. These include specialist stores, top designer boutiques, upmarket jewellers, hair salons and bookstores. 

Enjoy retail convenience at the sensational 6,300m2 new concept Pick ‘n Pay store in MontClare Place on Claremont Main Road. The new store boasts a 48-seater kitchen café, an on-site sushi bar with 3 specialist chefs, a kosher shop offering a wide array of products and a fresh flower stand with a qualified florist on hand to assist. The in-store pharmacy, Primary Care Clinic and extensive wellness and beauty section further boost the consumer offering. A number of everyday convenience retailers, from cellphones to drycleaners, complement the retail offering. Healthy living is made easy with an abundance of everything you need to keep fit and vital. The magnificent 4,500m2 brand new, state-of-the-art Virgin Active Premier Gym offers an extensive range of facilities including online access and the delicious taste of Kauai Food & Juice. Added to this are the health options offered by optometrists Mellin i -style, Health for Life, Pounce active wear and accessories and even healthy living for pets with the Claremont Vet Shop.

Stadium on Main across the main road, whilst offering a few shopping options, is better known for its indoor fun activities. See under Sports and Recreation.

Werdmuller Centre, at the south end of Claremont, is scheduled for redevelopment by The Old Mutual Property Group toward the end of 2008. Watch this space for updates.

Kirstenbosch, just a few minutes drive from Claremont, is not only a plant lover's paradise, but also a shopper's delight. This is the ideal place to buy enviro-friendly gifts, books, plants and sculpture. If craft and curios are what you are looking for, the craft market held at the Stone Cottages, opposite Kirstenbosch, on the last Sunday of every month (except June, July & August) is well worth a visit to seek out desirable objet from local crafters and artists.
