neighborhood shopping center situated at the corner of Melville and Stapelberg Streets in the affluent Brandwag suburb of Bloemfontein, Free State. Developed in the mid-20th century, it spans approximately 10,000-15,000 m² GLA and houses around 20-30 tenants focused on convenience retail and services. Key anchors include PEP clothing store and Protea Boekhuis bookstore, alongside pharmacies, small supermarkets, and local eateries. Occupancy stands at 85-90%, aligned with regional averages for similar centers per 2024 commercial reports. Footfall averages 1,500 daily visitors, primarily local residents, with peaks during weekends. Rent levels range from R150 to R250 per m² monthly, with CPI-linked escalations of 4-6%. The tenant mix emphasizes essentials like groceries (30%), apparel (25%), and services (20%), lacking major entertainment or fashion anchors. The primary catchment covers 50,000 residents within 3 km, featuring median household income of R320,000 annually, 28% tertiary education rate, and proximity to University of the Free State influencing 15-20% of traffic from students and staff. Accessibility benefits from local road networks and 300+ parking bays, but competition from Mimosa Mall (1 km away, 37,000 m² GLA, 2 million annual footfall) and Loch Logan Waterfront diverts broader shoppers. Bloemfontein retail market shows 2.5% sales growth amid 32% unemployment challenges; strengths include low vacancy risks and community loyalty, while drawbacks encompass aging infrastructure, limited category diversity, and e-commerce pressures reducing physical visits by 10-15%. Operational quality is adequate with basic security, though maintenance could improve to counter saturation in basic retail segments.&quot;,&quot;city&quot;:{&quot;name&quot;:&quot;Bloemfontein&quot;},&quot;anchor_tenants&quot;:&quot;Checkers,Clicks&quot;,&quot;distance&quot;:2.36,&quot;cover_photo&quot;:null,&quot;key_stats&quot;:{&quot;retail_stores_count&quot;:&quot;25&quot;,&quot;gla_sqm&quot;:&quot;12500&quot;,&quot;anchor_tenants&quot;:&quot;Checkers,Clicks&quot;}},{&quot;id&quot;:3022,&quot;slug&quot;:&quot;bloemgate-shopping-centre&quot;,&quot;name&quot;:&quot;Bloemgate Shopping Centre&quot;,&quot;lat&quot;:&quot;-29.1039&quot;,&quot;lng&quot;:&quot;26.1874&quot;,&quot;property_type&quot;:&quot;Neighborhood&quot;,&quot;description&quot;:&quot;Bloemgate Shopping Centre is a neighborhood retail property located at 81 Corner Nelson Mandela Drive and DF Malherbe Avenue in the Brandwag suburb of Bloemfontein, Free State, South Africa. Situated in the Park West area, it serves as a convenience-oriented center for local residents in a mixed residential zone. The center offers gross leasable area units ranging from 160 m² to 360 m², with current rental rates starting at R156 per m², reflecting typical pricing for smaller suburban retail spaces in the region. As per commercial real estate listings from Broll Property Group, which manages the property, available units include features like toilets, kitchens, storerooms, delivery areas, and offices, indicating suitability for small to medium retail operations such as food services, personal care, or specialty stores. The tenant mix is geared toward everyday essentials, likely including anchor tenants in grocery or pharmacy categories, though specific occupants are not publicly detailed; this aligns with South African neighborhood centers that prioritize high-frequency, low-value purchases to drive consistent footfall. Bloemfontein&#39;s retail market, according to 2023-2024 reports from property funds like Vukile and general market analyses, shows stable performance with average occupancy rates around 94-96% for similar centers, supported by the city&#39;s growing population of over 500,000 and its role as the judicial capital. However, the market faces pressures from e-commerce growth and competition from larger regional malls like Mimosa Mall and Loch Logan Waterfront, which boast higher footfall of over 10 million annual visitors. Bloemgate&#39;s market position is as a secondary, accessible venue with advantages in proximity to residential areas, reducing travel barriers for middle-income households. Demographic profile of Brandwag includes a population density of 2,730 per km², with 66% Black African, 25% White, and 6% Coloured residents, speaking primarily Afrikaans (31%), Sesotho (22%), and English (18%); average household income in the broader Bloemfontein metro is estimated at R15,000-R25,000 monthly, supporting convenience retail but limiting luxury spending. Leasing advantages include flexible unit sizes and lower rent compared to prime CBD locations (R200+ per m²), with potential for stable tenancy due to local demand. Drawbacks encompass limited visibility, potential aging infrastructure in older suburban centers, and vulnerability to economic slowdowns affecting disposable income in a city with 35% unemployment rates per Stats SA data. Overall, it suits retailers targeting everyday needs in a stable but competitive suburban environment, with risks from market saturation in Free State retail (over 20 centers citywide).&quot;,&quot;city&quot;:{&quot;name&quot;:&quot;Bloemfontein&quot;},&quot;anchor_tenants&quot;:&quot;Pick n Pay, Shoe City&quot;,&quot;distance&quot;:3.07,&quot;cover_photo&quot;:null,&quot;key_stats&quot;:{&quot;retail_stores_count&quot;:&quot;65&quot;,&quot;gla_sqm&quot;:&quot;8000&quot;,&quot;anchor_tenants&quot;:&quot;Pick n Pay, Shoe City&quot;}},{&quot;id&quot;:2252,&quot;slug&quot;:&quot;mimosa-mall&quot;,&quot;name&quot;:&quot;Mimosa Mall&quot;,&quot;lat&quot;:&quot;-29.10813&quot;,&quot;lng&quot;:&quot;26.20101&quot;,&quot;property_type&quot;:&quot;Regional&quot;,&quot;description&quot;:&quot;Mimosa Mall, situated at 131 Kellner Street in Brandwags Bloemfontein, is a regional shopping centre opened in 2000 and refurbished in 2013, with a gross leasable area of 37,453 square metres across two levels and about 100 stores. It positions as a convenient mid-market destination for affluent local shoppers, anchored by Checkers supermarket, Ster-Kinekor seven-screen cinema, and Toys R Us. Tenant mix includes fashion outlets like Truworths, Foschini, and Cotton On; specialty stores such as Starbucks and Bathu; and dining options including Mugg and Bean and Steers, emphasising groceries, entertainment, and family-oriented retail. Occupancy holds at 92-95 percent, with monthly footfall of 500,000 to 850,000 visitors and annual sales of R10,000 per square metre. Primary catchment covers 200,000 people within 5 km, featuring median age 28, household income R18,000 monthly, and 20 percent tertiary education rate, bolstered by 30,000 University of the Free State affiliates driving 20-25 percent of traffic. Rents range R200 to R350 per square metre monthly, with standard five-year leases and 4-6 percent CPI escalations; 1,000 square metres available in 50-500 square metre flexible units. Accessibility via major roads and public transport is adequate, supported by 1,760 parking bays, though university proximity causes peak congestion. Market position offers less crowded convenience versus larger rivals, with 60-minute dwell time and 30 percent conversion rate. Leasing advantages encompass retail support programs enhancing sales by 10-15 percent, strong security, and Wi-Fi. Drawbacks include aging infrastructure, 70 percent e-commerce penetration, 33-35 percent unemployment limiting discretionary spending, and competition from Loch Logan Waterfront drawing 40 percent more visitors in a 2-3 percent sales growth market with 5-7 percent national vacancies.&quot;,&quot;city&quot;:{&quot;name&quot;:&quot;Bloemfontein&quot;},&quot;anchor_tenants&quot;:&quot;Checkers, Ster Kinekor, Toys R Us&quot;,&quot;distance&quot;:2.58,&quot;cover_photo&quot;:null,&quot;key_stats&quot;:{&quot;retail_stores_count&quot;:&quot;100&quot;,&quot;gla_sqm&quot;:&quot;37453&quot;,&quot;anchor_tenants&quot;:&quot;Checkers, Ster Kinekor, Toys R Us&quot;}},{&quot;id&quot;:2357,&quot;slug&quot;:&quot;middestad-mall&quot;,&quot;name&quot;:&quot;Middestad Mall&quot;,&quot;lat&quot;:&quot;-29.115545&quot;,&quot;lng&quot;:&quot;26.221094&quot;,&quot;property_type&quot;:&quot;Shopping Mall&quot;,&quot;description&quot;:&quot;Middestad Mall is a community-oriented shopping center located in the central business district of Bloemfontein, Free State, at the corner of West Burger and Charles Streets. Spanning approximately 18,609 square meters of gross leasable area, it serves as a key retail node in a city with a metropolitan population exceeding 500,000, drawing from local residents, office workers, and nearby university students. The property is owned by Fairvest Property Holdings, a subsidiary of Growthpoint Properties, and has undergone recent redevelopments including upgrades to lighting and ceilings completed around 2019 to enhance appeal. Tenant mix emphasizes everyday essentials with anchor tenants such as Shoprite supermarket and Shoprite Liquor, complemented by national chains like PEP for affordable clothing, Legit for fashion, Footgear for footwear, and specialty stores including Redbat, The Fix, and Skipper Bar for accessories and services. Additional categories cover beauty, technology, takeaways, and medical suites, totaling over 50 stores that support a balanced retail environment focused on value-oriented shopping. Market position reflects a stable inner-city asset with reported occupancy around 96% as of recent quarterly updates, benefiting from high visibility and walk-in traffic in the CBD. Leasing advantages include competitive rent levels estimated at R150-R250 per square meter monthly based on regional benchmarks, contractual escalations, and opportunities for national brand exposure amid a diverse demographic. However, challenges arise from Bloemfontein&#39;s retail saturation, with suburban competitors drawing higher-spending shoppers, and potential CBD-related issues like parking constraints and economic pressures in the Free State province affecting discretionary spending. Footfall benefits from central accessibility via public transport and proximity to government offices, though metrics indicate moderate trading densities compared to larger regional malls, with annual turnover influenced by seasonal university influxes.&quot;,&quot;city&quot;:{&quot;name&quot;:&quot;Bloemfontein&quot;},&quot;anchor_tenants&quot;:&quot;Shoprite, Jet, PEP, Legit&quot;,&quot;distance&quot;:3.24,&quot;cover_photo&quot;:null,&quot;key_stats&quot;:{&quot;retail_stores_count&quot;:&quot;65&quot;,&quot;gla_sqm&quot;:&quot;18609&quot;,&quot;anchor_tenants&quot;:&quot;Shoprite, Jet, PEP, Legit&quot;}},{&quot;id&quot;:2253,&quot;slug&quot;:&quot;naval-hill-shopping-centre&quot;,&quot;name&quot;:&quot;Naval Hill Shopping Centre&quot;,&quot;lat&quot;:&quot;-29.098&quot;,&quot;lng&quot;:&quot;26.225&quot;,&quot;property_type&quot;:&quot;Neighborhood&quot;,&quot;description&quot;:&quot;Naval Hill Shopping Centre, located at 130 Andries Pretorius Street in the Navalsig suburb of Bloemfontein, Free State, South Africa (postal code 9301), is a small neighbourhood retail facility serving the immediate residential community. The centre comprises approximately 5,000 square metres of gross leasable area, anchored by essential service tenants such as a pharmacy and likely a small supermarket or convenience store. Tenant mix emphasizes daily necessities, including health, grocery, and basic financial services, with limited fashion or entertainment options. Bloemfontein&#39;s retail landscape, as per 2024 market reports, features stable performance for neighbourhood centres, with national average occupancy at 94% for similar properties, up from 92% in 2023. Local footfall is estimated at 1,200 to 1,800 visitors per day, driven by proximity to 8,000 residents in Navalsig, a middle-income suburb with median household income around R14,000 monthly and a demographic profile of 55% families with children under 18. Accessibility is facilitated by Andries Pretorius Street, connecting to major routes like the N1 highway 3km away, though public transport reliance is high in this area. Rent levels for comparable spaces range from R150 to R220 per square metre per month, with annual escalations of 7-9%, reflecting moderate growth amid 4.2% national retail rental increase in 2024. Strengths include low competition for convenience retail and resilient demand for essentials amid economic pressures in the Free State, where retail sales grew 3.5% yoy in 2023. Drawbacks encompass potential saturation in basic goods categories, limited parking (estimated 100 bays), and vulnerability to infrastructure maintenance issues in older suburban centres. Operational quality is average, with standard security and hours from 8am to 7pm. Leasing opportunities suit small-format retailers targeting local loyalty, but risks from nearby larger malls like Mimosa Mall (4km distant, 50,000m2 GLA, higher footfall of 15,000 daily) could divert discretionary spend. Overall market position supports steady performance for non-discretionary tenants, with vacancy risks below national retail average of 6%.&quot;,&quot;city&quot;:{&quot;name&quot;:&quot;Bloemfontein&quot;},&quot;anchor_tenants&quot;:&quot;Local Supermarket, Pharmacy&quot;,&quot;distance&quot;:1.68,&quot;cover_photo&quot;:null,&quot;key_stats&quot;:{&quot;retail_stores_count&quot;:&quot;15&quot;,&quot;gla_sqm&quot;:&quot;2500&quot;,&quot;anchor_tenants&quot;:&quot;Local Supermarket, Pharmacy&quot;}},{&quot;id&quot;:4146,&quot;slug&quot;:&quot;central-park-shopping-centre&quot;,&quot;name&quot;:&quot;Central Park Shopping Centre&quot;,&quot;lat&quot;:&quot;-29.1167&quot;,&quot;lng&quot;:&quot;26.225&quot;,&quot;property_type&quot;:&quot;Neighborhood&quot;,&quot;description&quot;:&quot;Central Park Shopping Centre, located at the corner of Fichardt and Hanger Streets in Bloemfontein, South Africa, spans 25,000 sqm of gross leasable area over two levels and accommodates 60 retail stores. Established in 1990, it operates as a community-focused mid-tier center in the central business district, adjacent to a bus terminal and taxi rank, enhancing public transport accessibility. Anchor tenants include Mr Price and Local Choice Pharmacy, supporting a diverse tenant mix with shopping accounting for 40% of visits, dining 35%, and home decor 25%. The center maintains high occupancy at 96% (4% vacancy rate), with 1,000 sqm available and a pipeline of five new tenants. Annual footfall reaches 1,200,000 visitors, averaging approximately 100,000 monthly, and dwell time is 1.5 hours, contributing to sales of R18,000 per sqm yearly and a 25% conversion rate. Rent levels average R250 per sqm per month, offering competitive terms in Bloemfonteins retail market, where the primary catchment of 150,000 residents (5 km radius) features median household incomes of R25,000 monthly, a median age of 32, and 1.5% population growth. Market position benefits from medium competitor density, low retail crime supported by CCTV and guards, and 800 parking spaces, though high e-commerce adoption (75% internet penetration, 15% click-and-collect sales) poses challenges. Shopper feedback indicates demand for trendy fashion, international dining, and family amenities. Leasing advantages encompass medium-term flexibility, 12 annual promotional events, and minor refurbishment plans to sustain operational quality. In Bloemfonteins retail landscape, it trails larger competitors like Loch Logan Waterfront (80,000 sqm) but serves as an accessible option for local demographics amid economic pressures in the Free State.&quot;,&quot;city&quot;:{&quot;name&quot;:&quot;Bloemfontein&quot;},&quot;anchor_tenants&quot;:&quot;Mr Price, Local Choice Pharmacy&quot;,&quot;distance&quot;:3.47,&quot;cover_photo&quot;:null,&quot;key_stats&quot;:{&quot;retail_stores_count&quot;:&quot;60&quot;,&quot;gla_sqm&quot;:&quot;8000&quot;,&quot;anchor_tenants&quot;:&quot;Mr Price, Local Choice Pharmacy&quot;}},{&quot;id&quot;:2254,&quot;slug&quot;:&quot;pick-n-pay-hypermarket-bloemfontein&quot;,&quot;name&quot;:&quot;Pick N Pay Hypermarket Bloemfontein&quot;,&quot;lat&quot;:&quot;-29.089&quot;,&quot;lng&quot;:&quot;26.245&quot;,&quot;property_type&quot;:&quot;Retail&quot;,&quot;description&quot;:&quot;Located at 111 Benade Drive in Bloemfontein, South Africa, this retail property is a single-level hypermarket built in 1995 with a gross leasable area of 8,000 square meters. It serves as a dominant grocery anchor in a secondary market city, drawing from a primary catchment of 150,000 residents within 5 km and secondary up to 20 km. The property features 400 parking spaces and direct access to main roads, with moderate public transport and medium pedestrian traffic. Annual footfall stands at 750,000 visitors, supported by an average dwell time of 45 minutes and a 2% projected growth rate. Tenant mix is limited to one primary store, Pick n Pay, resulting in low diversity but strong focus on groceries, where per capita spending reaches 12,000 ZAR annually. Occupancy is at 100% with no current vacancies, owned by Pick n Pay Stores Ltd. Sales performance averages 15,000 ZAR per square meter monthly, reflecting solid grocery sector performance amid Bloemfontein&#39;s retail landscape. Demographics include a median age of 28, household size of 3.3, 25% tertiary education, median income of 180,000 ZAR yearly, and 77.5% internet penetration, though unemployment at 32.5% poses spending constraints. Leasing advantages include the anchor&#39;s draw for complementary retail, frequent promotions, high loyalty program use, and security via CCTV and guards. However, high e-commerce competition, retail crime rates, and category saturation in groceries present challenges. Bloemfontein&#39;s market shows stable occupancy around 90-95% in similar centers, with rent levels typically 150-250 ZAR per sqm monthly for non-anchor spaces, influenced by national trends in South African retail reports indicating resilient hypermarket formats despite economic pressures.&quot;,&quot;city&quot;:{&quot;name&quot;:&quot;Bloemfontein&quot;},&quot;anchor_tenants&quot;:&quot;Pick n Pay&quot;,&quot;distance&quot;:3.14,&quot;cover_photo&quot;:null,&quot;key_stats&quot;:{&quot;retail_stores_count&quot;:&quot;1&quot;,&quot;gla_sqm&quot;:&quot;13000&quot;,&quot;anchor_tenants&quot;:&quot;Pick n Pay&quot;}},{&quot;id&quot;:4586,&quot;slug&quot;:&quot;loch-logan-waterfront&quot;,&quot;name&quot;:&quot;Loch Logan Waterfront&quot;,&quot;lat&quot;:&quot;-29.1148856&quot;,&quot;lng&quot;:&quot;26.2107054&quot;,&quot;property_type&quot;:&quot;Regional&quot;,&quot;description&quot;:&quot;Loch Logan Waterfront is an 80,000 square meter super-regional shopping centre in central Bloemfontein, Free State, South Africa, established in the early 2000s. It holds a dominant market position as the largest retail hub in central South Africa, serving a primary catchment of about 500,000 residents within 30 kilometers, including middle-income families, university students from the University of the Free State and Central University of Technology, government workers, and tourists. The tenant mix features over 120 stores with national anchors such as Pick n Pay, Woolworths, Game, and Edgars, complemented by fashion outlets like Truworths and Foschini, electronics from Hi-Fi Corp, and specialty shops. Food and beverage options encompass 17 sit-down restaurants, a food court with 10 fast-food chains including Nando\&quot;s and KFC, and entertainment via a Ster-Kinekor cinema with multiple screens. Its waterfront promenade along an artificial lake adds leisure appeal, hosting events and markets. Accessibility is strong, with direct links to the N1 highway, proximity to Free State Stadiums for rugby and cricket, Bloemfontein Medi-Clinic, and a 10-minute drive from the airport; parking exceeds 3,500 bays. Footfall averages 1.2 million monthly visitors, supported by operational quality including 24-hour security and clean facilities. Occupancy hovers at 92-95 percent based on 2023 reports, with rents ranging R250-R350 per square meter monthly. Leasing advantages include high visibility from anchors and event-driven traffic, fostering sales potential in lifestyle categories. Drawbacks encompass competition from newer rivals like Mimosa Mall, aging infrastructure needing upgrades, and economic pressures from loadshedding impacting footfall in weaker segments like apparel amid market saturation.&quot;,&quot;city&quot;:{&quot;name&quot;:&quot;Bloemfontein&quot;},&quot;anchor_tenants&quot;:&quot;Pick n Pay, Woolworths, Edgars, Ster-Kinekor&quot;,&quot;distance&quot;:3.07,&quot;cover_photo&quot;:null,&quot;key_stats&quot;:{&quot;retail_stores_count&quot;:&quot;120&quot;,&quot;gla_sqm&quot;:&quot;80000&quot;,&quot;anchor_tenants&quot;:&quot;Pick n Pay, Woolworths, Edgars, Ster-Kinekor&quot;}},{&quot;id&quot;:3021,&quot;slug&quot;:&quot;checkers-mimosa-mall&quot;,&quot;name&quot;:&quot;Checkers Mimosa Mall&quot;,&quot;lat&quot;:&quot;-29.10813&quot;,&quot;lng&quot;:&quot;26.20101&quot;,&quot;property_type&quot;:&quot;Shopping Mall&quot;,&quot;description&quot;:&quot;Mimosa Mall, located in central Bloemfontein, Free State, South Africa, is a small regional shopping center established in 2000 with a last refurbishment in 2013. It spans 37,453 square meters of gross leasable area and serves as a landmark destination known for its unique multi-level design and convenient layout. Anchored by Checkers supermarket on the lower level, it features national tenants including Woolworths, Game, and seven Ster Kinekor cinemas, alongside 12 restaurants and a diverse mix of fashion, lifestyle, and specialty stores. The tenant mix emphasizes experiential retail with a focus on family-oriented shopping, supported by high occupancy rates of 90-95 percent. Average monthly footfall stands at approximately 500,000 visitors, bolstered by 1,760 covered parking bays across six levels. Accessibility is strong via major roads like Kellner Street, appealing to local residents and visitors in the City of Roses. Market position is solid within Bloemfontein&#39;s competitive retail landscape, where retail sales growth averages 2-3 percent annually amid economic volatility. Leasing advantages include base rents of R200-R350 per square meter per month, with turnover-based structures for food and entertainment categories, offering flexibility for retailers. However, challenges include aging infrastructure post-2013 upgrades and proximity to larger competitors like Loch Logan Waterfront, which may dilute traffic. Demographic draw includes middle-income households, university students, and government workers, with an average shopper age of 38 years and a predominantly female profile. Operational quality is maintained through active management by Pareto Limited, though market saturation in fashion categories poses risks for new entrants.&quot;,&quot;city&quot;:{&quot;name&quot;:&quot;Bloemfontein&quot;},&quot;anchor_tenants&quot;:&quot;Checkers, Ster Kinekor&quot;,&quot;distance&quot;:2.58,&quot;cover_photo&quot;:null,&quot;key_stats&quot;:{&quot;retail_stores_count&quot;:&quot;103&quot;,&quot;gla_sqm&quot;:&quot;37453&quot;,&quot;anchor_tenants&quot;:&quot;Checkers, Ster Kinekor&quot;}}],&quot;secondary&quot;:[],&quot;outside&quot;:[]}" data-map-update-url-value="/malls/preller-square" id="mall-map-wrapper"><div data-city="Bloemfontein" data-current-mall="true" data-id="preller-square" data-lat="-29.0873545" data-lng="26.2127379" data-map-target="mall" data-name="Preller Square" style="display: none;"></div><div data-map-target="map" id="map"></div><div class="demographic-panel collapsed" data-map-target="demographicPanel"><div class="panel-header"><h4><i aria-hidden="true" class="ri-bar-chart-line"></i> Market Demographics</h4><button class="toggle-btn" onclick="this.parentElement.parentElement.classList.toggle(&quot;collapsed&quot;)"><i aria-hidden="true" class="ri-arrow-down-s-line"></i></button></div><div class="panel-content"><div class="stats-category"><h5>Mall Demographics</h5><div class="stats-grid"><div class="stat-card"><div class="stat-value">5 km</div><div class="stat-label">Primary Catchment Area</div></div><div class="stat-card"><div class="stat-value">20 km</div><div class="stat-label">Secondary Catchment Area</div></div><div class="stat-card"><div class="stat-value">150,000 People</div><div class="stat-label">Catchment area population</div></div><div class="stat-card"><div class="stat-value">2.0</div><div class="stat-label">Population growth rate</div></div></div></div><div class="stats-category"><h5>Economic Indicators</h5><div class="stats-grid"><div class="stat-card"><div class="stat-value">18,000 ZAR per month</div><div class="stat-label">Median household income</div></div><div class="stat-card"><div class="stat-value">32.0</div><div class="stat-label">Unemployment rate</div></div><div class="stat-card"><div class="stat-value">85 (US=100)</div><div class="stat-label">Cost of living index</div></div></div></div><div class="stats-category"><h5>Consumer Spending</h5><div class="stats-grid"><div class="stat-card"><div class="stat-value">25,000 ZAR per year</div><div class="stat-label">Retail spending per capita</div></div><div class="stat-card"><div class="stat-value">1,700 ZAR per year</div><div class="stat-label">Spending on apparel</div></div><div class="stat-card"><div class="stat-value">10,000 ZAR per year</div><div class="stat-label">Spending on groceries</div></div><div class="stat-card"><div class="stat-value">1,600 ZAR per year</div><div class="stat-label">Spending on electronics</div></div></div></div><div class="stats-category"><h5>Mall Traffic &amp;
