Pick ‘n Pay Centre – NOW The Square

YOUR PARTY See you there! 

Mbombela – An icon and land mark shopping centre in the Lowveld has a new name.  The shopping Centre known as the Pick ‘n Pay Centre will from now on be known as The Square.

Situated on one of the main intersections in Nelspruit just off Madiba Drive (R40), shopping at The Square is most definitely convenient.  Pick ‘n Pay has been the anchor store from the first time the doors opened and are still an integral part of the tenant mix.  After acquiring the centre on 23 July 2014 the current owners, Russet Trading and Investment 95 (Pty) Ltd, quickly made plans to breathe new life into an old favourite.  Redevelopment started in earnest in 2015 and was completed in October of that same year.  This time two major and unique anchor stores were added to the mix, namely Baby City and WestPack Lifestyle Centre.  This makes The Square a true destination.

To celebrate the new name The Square hosted a party on Saturday 13 October honouring its shoppers and the wonderful community of Nelspruit.

Activities included:

SCRATCH CARDS Competition draw: Shoppers that spend R150 at any store received a scratch card and qualified for special offers or free gifts from another store.  Plus if you dropped your completed entry in the entry box you stood a chance to win one of three R2 000 cash prizes. The draw took place live on stage at 12:00 and winners will be notified via telephone during this week.

Saturday 13 October – It’s YOUR party!  Everyone was invited to join us on Saturday 13 October for our It’s YOUR Party event.  The Centre was decorated with balloons and colourful square bunting.  With the announcement of the cash prize winners most definitely being a highlight.  But the event The Square was most excited about the honouring our Heroes ceremony that started from 9am.

The Square is about the community and this is what the day was about.  We invited pre-primary schools to choose and honour an organisation that they deem to be Heroes.  Pupils of Elizabeth Montessori, Chirpy Baby and Toddler Centre, Nellie Miere and Mosaik joined us  to honour their heroes.  They presented each organisation with a R10 000 donation on behalf of the Square.  The Establishments that were nominated were CANSA, Bossies Community Justice, SANCA and Nelspruit SPCA.  There charities were at the event to accept this honour.

The day was filled with activities such as a demonstration by the Nelspruit Gymnastics Academy and performances by the Kamagugu School’s marimba band.  There was a jumping castle and loads of give-aways.  Most certainly a day to remember.

PLUS Shoppers that spent R250 or more on this day received a very good looking The Square branded shopping bag. Check out some of the photos captured on the fun day in the gallery below…
