The Tyger Valley Market concept was born out of the overall Tyger Valley Centre Strategic planning document developed in November 2020. The Festive Market was first launched as a ‘’trial’’ to support the Non-GLA segment of Marketing in December 2020. The market afforded Tyger Valley the opportunity to offer our customers a unique shopping experience and affordable hand-made products to our consumer without compromising the tenant’s income. The Centre also demonstrated its support to 1280 local entrepreneurs over the period and SMME’s during the current economic hardships.
The Tyger Valley Market is based in the Centre Arena surrounded by our vast food court tenants and offerings, creating an entertainment hub feel to the area.
The market deemed a popular attraction to our customers and a well-supported extra offering to our shoppers, incorporating themes and specific products for recognised days such as Valentine’s Day incorporating theme focused merchandise as well as displaying unique pieces for purchase.
The Tyger Valley Market proved very successful and therefore the concept expanded on, and the offering kept building a sustainable brand for Tyger Valley Centre.
