The opening of Country Road at Ballito Junction Regional Mall marks a significant milestone for the region – and it’s about so much more than fashion. This is the first Country Road store on the North Coast, bringing one of South Africa’s most loved premium lifestyle brands closer to home for residents and visitors.
But beyond convenience, the opening signals something bigger. It reflects the continued growth, confidence, and investment in the North Coast as a thriving economic hub. Big-name brands choose locations that show strong demand, upward mobility, and long-term potential – and this is a clear vote of confidence in our region.
We caught up with Country Road Country Manager Kay Raidoo to find out why this iconic fashion brand chose the North Coast for its new flagship store. Read the full interview on our website:
