The CCID wishes these new businesses all the best in the Central City. We also chatted to the manager of one of them in our spring issue of City Views to find out more about what this venue will bring to the Central City.

Q&A WITH ANTHONY BEUKES, ASSISTANT STORE MANAGER OF THE LEVI’S OUTLET STORE
Anthony Beukes, Levi’s Assistant Store Manager
What motivated the move to the CBD?
Increased foot traffic was the main reason. We have a lot of customers passing by, for example, going to the MyCiTi bus station on Adderley St, the Station Deck or the train station.
What is it like working in the Central City?
The vibe is excellent here in town. Previously, I was at Kuils River and the store was in an enclosed mall but now it’s totally the opposite.
What’s special about this Levi’s branch?
Besides providing excellent service, we’re the only Levi’s factory shop in the CBD. This means our items are reasonably priced. For example, at the Levi’s store at the V&A Waterfront, you’ll find the price of a pair of jeans starts at R1 000, but in our store customers will find jeans starting at R449.
