Name of Shop: ACKERMANS STORES.

WELCOME TO ACKERMANS

The Ackermans Success story began in 1916 when Gus Ackerman opened the very first store in Wynberg, Cape Town, setting a benchmark for price competitiveness that few could match.

By 1960 the Ackermans chain had shown promising growth and was sold to Greatermans.

Towards the end of the 70's Ackermans changed hands once again and was sold to Edgars who maintained its successful price discounter position.

When Pepkor acquired Ackermans in 1984 there were 34 stores across the country. Pepkor were quick to realise that the strategy of adding value to the low price formula would better position Ackermans for growth, and it was at this point that Ackermans began its present period of exceptional growth.

By the turn of the century Ackermans had grown to over 200 stores across Southern Africa, catering to all value conscious consumers.

The new millennium heralds even bigger and more exciting plans. By the end of the 2003/2004 financial year our number of stores will total 299 Ackermans stores, 5 Home Comforts Stores, 2 Ackermans Baby Company stores and 29 Hang Ten stores and the millennium has just begun!

Name of Shop: LAKESIDE MALLL

Lakeside Mall is a 56 500 square metre retail and entertainment centre, nestled on the southern banks of the Civic Lake in Benoni, South Africa, incorporates a number of stylishly themed areas with varied atmospheres - all creating an upmarket shopping complex which has something to offer everyone.

Lakeside Mall, officially opened in April 1999, created a "theatre experience" for guests - an outing and an experience - in order to combine essential shopping with relaxation.

And, 122 tenants mean a wide range of shopping and leisure options. Together with the Lakeside Mall's fun and stylish image it offers the best of everything to the whole family.

A central feature of Lakeside Mall is the 160 metre-long riverboat, which has been constructed as part of the main centre. The steamer rests at the water's edge, taking Lakeside Mall onto the Lake itself where shoppers can enjoy the fresh air.

Inside the main complex is the entertainment area - a 'townscape' with sash windows and cobbled streets. These buildings are based on real structures in New Orleans, right down to the colour of the paint. They give the feeling that you are in the middle of a real town square.

The mall areas are linked via atria and light-wells, which give a sense of space and light, and create stunning views across the lake, so that the atmosphere in the complex is one of water and open-air spaces. Nautical features such as portholes, wooden decks and hulls in the ceilings continue the waterfront theme.
