Fourways Mall Keeps Momentum Going With New Stores And Experiences

Johannesburg, 30 May 2025: Fourways Mall continues its impressive growth trajectory, with 2025 already shaping up to build on the retail powerhouse’s successes from the previous year. The mall has introduced an array of new tenants, enhanced its lifestyle offering, and implemented significant infrastructure improvements to better serve its evolving shopper demographic.

In the past 12 months alone, over 20,783 square meters of retail space has been let, while leases for more than 150 existing tenants have been renewed — a clear indicator of strategic tenant retention and demand-driven leasing activity. This forward-looking leasing strategy responds directly to the needs of an upwardly mobile clientele, bringing in convenient, on-trend retail and leisure options.

Among the most celebrated developments is the return of Spur, one of South Africa’s most iconic family dining brands. After nearly a decade-long absence, the beloved restaurant has been warmly welcomed back by the community. Its comeback signals a renewed focus on home-grown, family-centric experiences within the mall.

New retail additions include major names like Huawei, Levisons, Mochachos, Pet Shop Science, and local lifestyle brand ZuluZenith. Financial services brands African Bank and Travelex have repositioned to more shopper-friendly areas, while several new entrants are currently outfitting their stores in anticipation of their Fourways Mall debut.

Evolving Lifestyle And Entertainment Offerings

A standout attraction under development is the refurbishment of the mall’s famed aeroplane installation — a project long-anticipated by regulars. Once unveiled, this feature is expected to draw significant foot traffic and become a defining experiential landmark.

Further reinforcing its positioning as a lifestyle destination, the mall has launched Match Padel, offering eight rooftop courts, a café and panoramic views of the West Rand. This aligns with Johannesburg’s growing appetite for social, accessible sports. Complementary wellness additions like High Performance Training (a Hyrox-affiliated studio), Beauty on Tapp, The Fitz, and Wellness Warehouse expand the health and fitness portfolio for increasingly health-conscious shoppers.

Additional entertainment hubs, including Total Ninja, Urban Playground, Planet Fitness, and Bloc 11, are scheduled to open in the coming months, extending Fourways Mall’s appeal to a diverse, multi-generational audience hungry for experiential leisure spaces.

Sustainable Infrastructure And Enhanced Visitor Experience

Environmental responsibility remains a priority, with work underway on a large-scale solar power installation that will blanket an entire section of the mall’s rooftop with solar panels. This initiative will significantly reduce the centre’s environmental footprint while supporting energy resilience.

Recent upgrades have also improved the visitor experience: enhanced signage, intuitive wayfinding, brighter lighting, a revamped e-hailing drop zone, and an upgraded parking management system have collectively elevated convenience and security.

“The strong performance of our new tenants confirms that our leasing strategy is on the right track, and we are delighted to have made significant improvements in the overall shopper experience,” said Juan Palm, Fourways Mall Centre Manager. “We’re committed to improving the quality of life for everyone who visits our mall by housing greater variety, joyful experiences and access to the brands and services they know, love and need,” he added.

A Retail Hub Reinventing Its Role

The mall’s continued leasing momentum, investment in renewable energy, and revitalised tenant mix showcase a business model that’s both commercially astute and deeply in touch with its community. Fourways Mall is decisively positioning itself as Johannesburg’s leading retail and lifestyle destination — a place where convenience, entertainment, wellness, and family-friendly spaces converge.
