EXPO WP IS A TOURIST PARADISE

Expo Western Province is undoubtedly the largest indoor "fleamarket" in the entire Western Cape. It is essentially a foreign tourist attraction, where they can view, touch and buy African Art & Craft daily at their convenience. It is definitely going to be the place where tourist come to buy their gifts and artifacts to take back home to their respective countries after the Soccer World Cup event in Cape Town. However, EXPO WP is NOT exclusively for tourists and from what I have already seen this past Sunday, its the place where the locals will hang out. There's a huge Halal Food Court, with Burger World catering for the masses and there's a Fish and Chips vendor and a Chicken Joint as well as a Corn-in-a-Cup vendor, among numerous other food vendors, there's a kiddies games area, as well as a mobile stage for live entertainment and free parking galore and more than 300 stalls to buy from, with product just too numerous to mention.

Sunday past, the 14th March has just seen the opening of the EXPO WP, it wasn't the official opening but rather an opportunity for vendors and potential vendors to witness the business attraction of 300 stalls under 1 roof. The official launch however will take place coming Easter Weekend - the 1st-5th April. Considering the hoards of people that attended the unofficial opening, its more than obvious that the official opening is going to be a blast, with music, singing and dancing and food and kiddies rides and a sound stage exhibiting local talent. Its going to be a "WOW moment" for everyone present with FUN, FUN, and more FUN.

Inside, there is a Photgraphic Studio -PhotoJani, for ID, Passport and Driver License photos, Wedding Photographs and DVD's, Picture Framing and a host of other services far too numerous to mention. There are car sound system vendors for that BOOM-BOX in your car and Estate agents and Costume Jewelry stalls, Clothing stalls, Crockery stalls, Cutlery stalls, Bedding stalls, and Curtains stalls, etc... You name it, its there!

The beauty of the EXPO WP concept is that vendors no longer have to pack-up their goods daily after trading, as they did whilst on the outdoor fleamarkets but rather just close up their stalls with a mesh door whilst still allowing shoppers the opportunity of continual window shopping. EXPO WP is the informal traders dream, with rentals so affordable, it could actually be less than their monthly personal transport cost of carting their goods to and from their trading sites. EXPO WP even has a lift clubs for its vendors to and from the EXPO. EXPO WP is situated at 131 Bofors Circle Epping inside the old Stuttaford Van Lines Building. There are a limited amount of stalls still available for those who want to be part of this event, so HURRY, HURRY, HURRY. And it would be so cool to see all of you there!
