Cape Town's Theatre Of Food


Food Lover’s Market in Main Road Tokai, Cape Town, sets a benchmark for fresh produce retail and retail as a whole in South Africa.

This roll-out store, modelled on the Whole Foods retail chain in the United States, offers consumers a brand new shopping experience as a Theatre Of Food retail destination, allowing customers to complete their entire shop in-store.

The two biggest departments (fresh produce and butchery), carry approximately R1 million each, in stock per week.

We look at this store in more detail, focusing on

- It’s geographical location
- Store layout and design
- Product offering
- Opportunities for suppliers, both bog and small
- Private labels
- Store replenishment and supply chain strategies
