Food Lover’s Market Co-founder Brian Coppin and Rustenburg Executive Mayor, Cllr Sheila Mabale-Huma take a tour of the new store.

The new Rustenburg store confirms a 183-strong team procured locally for the new world-class store.

Same Faces, New Places!

The store is managed by Hannes van Heerden, a highly experienced retailer who has been part of the Food Lover’s family for the past 10 years. Locals may know Hannes’ friendly face from Food Lover’s Market Platinum Square. 183 passionate team members support him, with 29 of the team part of the gourmet Butchery section.

The retailer is passionate about delivering an exceptional shopping experience. All team members have received training and support through the “Same Faces Higher Places” programme to prepare them to offer fantastic service at the new store. 

During orientation, all Food Lover’s Market team members completed a Food Lover’s Market Values and Customer Xperience workshop. The team goes through customer service training programmes to prioritise living the Food Lover’s Market values, the importance of customer service, and understanding all the product lines. Fortunately for us, it comes naturally to everyone we’ve hired! Most of the 183 team members are sourced from Rustenberg and surrounds, having been transferred from the Rustenburg and Platinum stores, which have now been closed.

The store is located at Shop 15-17 Cornerstone Lifestyle Centre, CNR Faisal Mafa Drive & Augrabies Avenue, Cashan, Rustenburg, 0299. Shoppers are encouraged to watch the local press or the Food Lover’s Market website for details of opening specials.
