GALXBOY Launches Flagship Store In The Country’s Business Hub Sandton
GALXBOY’s move to Sandton City marks a cultural and commercial milestone for the brand
Johannesburg, South Africa — South Africa’s streetwear juggernaut, GALXBOY, has announced the grand opening of its latest and most prestigious retail venture in Sandton City, Johannesburg this Friday.
This marks a significant milestone for the homegrown fashion label, now celebrating the launch of its 14th store nationwide. Strategically positioned in the heart of South Africa’s economic capital, the move amplifies GALXBOY’s dominance in the African streetwear landscape.
Founded in 2008 by Thatiso Dube, GALXBOY began as an underground fashion statement and has since evolved into a formidable lifestyle brand blending contemporary global trends with a fiercely South African identity. What originated as a provocative slogan on a T-shirt has now become the uniform for a new generation of culturally engaged, fashion-forward youth.
“Opening in the financial capital of South Africa is huge for the brand and our journey thus far,” says founder and creative director Thatiso Dube. “We’re not just opening another store; we’re creating a cultural landmark, a space where fashion, ambition and identity collide.”
The flagship store, designed with a sleek, bold aesthetic, offers GALXBOY’s full range—from its edgy graphic T-shirts and luxury hoodies to exclusive accessories and limited-edition streetwear drops.
Positioned within Sandton City — dubbed ‘Africa’s richest square mile’ — the store is more than a retail outlet. It’s a symbolic statement of GALXBOY’s journey from backstreet beginnings to mainstream triumph, proving that underground culture can command space in the country’s most exclusive retail corridors.
The brand continues to carry cultural weight beyond its fashion catalogue, representing youth entrepreneurship, artistic defiance, and an unflinching commitment to owning one’s truth.
With a proven track record of sold-out collections and a loyal, ever-expanding fanbase, GALXBOY’s Sandton launch signifies more than business growth; it signals the arrival of street culture at the apex of African commerce and fashion.
