Many years ago, I watched the Cannes Lions winners for the first time somewhere close to this spot. At the time, Ster-Kinekor was here, part of The Cloisters shopping centre in Rivonia. There was a special showing of the winners in one of the cinemas. At the time, I would never have imagined that The Cloisters would be a disaster from the start, and the cinemas would eventually make way for a Planet Fitness. Gradually, all of the shops and restaurants closed. The News Cafe moved across the road, and the Pick n Pay and even the Truworths that had clung to survival for so long waved a white flag. There were even theories that the Rivonia Truworths was a front for money laundering, because nobody was ever in that store. Chinese-owned businesses moved in and the centre was rebranded as Oriental City. Last week on Women’s Day, I visited the centre – now named Rivonia Central – and was surprised by how full the parking lot was. The tenant mix has changed significantly. Now there are many more restaurants, offering a range of Asian cuisines, from Korean to Hong Kong style and, of course, bubble tea. The diners are mostly Chinese families, so you know the food they’re serving is authentic.  (I ordered way too much from Yue Hua and enjoyed dim sum for the rest of the weekend). The Planet Fitness upstairs has been replaced by badminton courts and a training academy, and outside the facility were these pull-up banners. In a country with shopping centres and malls, this notable failure has survived three decades and emerged in a form its original developers would probably never have envisaged. It’s a reminder of how the spaces we create have to evolve or die. Up next: Fourways Mall, anyone? #retail #shoppingcentre #Johannesburg

The most impressive feature of Mission Mars’ latest results is not the continued like-for-like sales growth across its two brands or the fact that CEO Roy Ellis believes there’s space for another 10 Albert's Schloss sites across the country (and think of the impact of that), but the fact it has been able to drive down staff turnover close to 55%. It’s all about company culture. With industry averages around 100%, according to some sources, that’s some achievement, and the foundation for delivering those strong performances and exception customer experiences. But just think of the cost implications of being able to retain staff as well - spending significantly less on recruitment, onboarding and training, while retaining experience and valuable know-how. Win, win. #culture #retention #savings #happystaff

Fairprice Finest debuts at Clarke Quay! That's right – Clarke Quay isn't just for party enthusiasts anymore. Introducing Fairprice Finest @Clarke Quay in Singapore. NTUC FairPrice 📽 Check out the video below! 🛒 Unlike the typical NTUC layout, this innovative establishment, situated in a warehouse space, offers a lifestyle-driven experience encompassing grocery and gift shopping, food & wine, and entertainment. 🛒 Nestled in the heart of Singapore's bustling entertainment and residential hub, tourists, residents from the nearby River Valley area and office crowd can anticipate a unique range of merchandise, distinct from conventional groceries. So, what can you expect? 1.Grocer Food Hall – centrally located, offering diverse cuisines, along with Pick n Cook service, a cheese corner, fresh sushi, and more. 2. Grocer Bar – a cozy setting to unwind with a glass of wine or cocktail. Indulge in Asian specialties like the Ondeh Ondeh Cocktail for $15 each. Plus, explore an interactive screen to select your whiskey. 3. The "Orange Container" – available for private dining or events. 4. Space for cooking classes and demonstrations. 5. Singapore-themed corner – situated at the main entrance, featuring a variety of SG-themed souvenirs, collab with Singapore designer and local brands, perfect for tourists. I love this spot because it showcases to tourists the must-buy in Singapore and uniquely designed souvenirs. 🛒 It's been years since a supermarket graced this location. The last one, Japanese MEIDI-YA (now relocated to Great World City), resided at the now-defunct Liang Court along River Valley Road. 🛒 Typically, NTUC Finest outlets aren't found in town (except for the one at 111 Somerset, if memory serves me well). So, setting up shop at Clarke Quay presents a unique opportunity to raise brand awareness, especially among international visitors. 🤔 Still Curious? Visit and explore it firsthand.
