A NEW AND BEAUTIFUL LIFESTYLE IN NORWOOD
72 Grant
Avenue, Norwood, Johannesburg
‘The Factory on Grant’ is a destination promoting wholesome
food, arts, crafts, furniture and design.
VOVO TELO BAKERY & CAFE
Anchor tenants Vovo Telo Bakery & Café and ‘Beautiful’
Flowers are both working their magic and people are coming back for more of the
wonderful ambiance of this new creative centre which officially opened mid
February 2014 with a number of tenants only now being operational for the past
six weeks!
The Vovo Telo has been full every day since it opened five weeks
ago and it has the most exquisite interior.
Possibly the nicest interior layout and décor of all of the Vovo Telo
branches that I have frequented.
The
courtyard area will be a popular place to visit on a sunny winter’s day and on
a hot summer evening when Vovo Telo eventually open in the evenings.
Night trade is a possibility in August
There are also two rooftop areas and one indoor space that are available for
rental for the use of markets, product launches and other pop-up events.
Enquire within!

Craig
McLeary rebuilt and revamped an extremely rundown building, setting out to
create something very different to a shopping mall.
The
whole idea was and is for The Factory to be a creative space. One where creative types, are going to
manufacture in their own space. They did not want to attract big brands,"
he explained.
art gallery and creative flair
There
is a large art gallery and central courtyard that one cannot see from Grant
Avenue, so falling upon this unique lifestyle shopping experience unexpectedly
is like finding a treasure chest full of wonderful and exciting, brightly
coloured jewels.
boutiques and ‘beautiful’ flowers
There
is a glassblowing studio visible from the bakery and a silkscreen printing
store and studio. Upstairs houses two clothing boutiques and ‘Beautiful’ – with
the most beautiful flowers under the auspices of talented, well-known event and
hotel flower arrangement supplier – Willem (cell 083 542 4491) who uses a
number of imported and local suppliers providing flowers of the highest
quality.
Add
to this Willem’s shadow – Cadeaux (French for Gift) a six year old Yorkshire terrier
who accompanies you around the small florist boutique, you know you will be
back again to order a bouquet or arrangement for a special occasion or flowers
to brighten up the office or home.
RESELL – UPCYCLED
Another
treasure chest full of second-hand furniture and home pieces. With a service offering to refurbish your
older furniture pieces and give new life to them!
NORWOOD
What
is the impact on Norwood? The local Spar
which is located across the road has a large and loyal clientele and I must say
on the few occasions that I have popped in for a quick purchase at the Norwood
Spar I have been impressed with the exceptionally, friendly and helpful service.
So, this is also a store to include in your trip to Norwood.
Now
with the established, fully let ‘Factory on Grant’ this has given new life to
the Norwood business district which has lacked appeal for many years.
This new development is a gift to Norwood, the residents and everyone who visits it! The locals love The Factory on Grant and it is easy to see how this corner centre will became a regular lifestyle shopping destination.
