The service station re-defined: say hello to The Pantry
The Pantry a 1000 square meter space, by Marble is officially open and it is just as fancy as you would expect. Although the layout and design feels very up-market, the store is super convenient and lends itself to an easy, hassle-free lifestyle.
We were invited for an exclusive VIP tour, so we thought we’d share our experience with Joburg. Here is what you can expect when you visit this new uber-cool destination.
Located on Jan Smuts Avenue – on the street level of the Trumpet on Keyes building – The Pantry is revolutionising the forecourt convenience store offering.
The Pantry is hybrid model of a supermarket, deli, take-away and retail store. It’s a speciality grocery store which offers consumers an elevated selection of items including quality fresh produce, ready-to-go meals, bakery items, flowers, wine and everyday essentials along with a bespoke retail selection. A supply partnership with leading fuel supplier, Sasol will provide motorists with petrol, diesel and electric options courtesy of Mercedes Benz.
