Geldhof Chocolates
Attention all chocoholics: Geldhof Chocolates is the perfect spot for you to get your chocolate fix. They make everything from Easter eggs to chocolate Santas and truffles. Luckily, they have a factory outlet in Randburg, which stocks all their delicious products at wholesale prices. We once bought a whole packet of truffles for only R30 – if that doesn’t sound like a sweet deal, we don’t know what does!
Tip: Ring the doorbell a few times before giving up – they are often busy in the back making chocolate like a team of Oompa Loompas.

Coricraft
Coricraft is one of South Africa’s favourite furniture factory shops and for good reason. Their furniture is simple yet stunning, inspiring visitors to drop some cash at almost every visit. The real problem, however, is that we can’t all afford to fully kit our homes in Coricraft’s fine furniture. The answer? Coricraft has a factory shop in Wynberg and it goes without saying that you can get great end-of-range furniture without breaking the bank.
Tip: Like most factory shops, these are limited, end-of-range products, so it’s probably advisable to visit every few weeks. Coricraft is by far one of our most-visited furniture factory shops in Joburg.
Address: Sandton Clearance Centre, Unit A9 Top Floor, Corner Louis Botha and Arkright Road, Wynburg.
Bambini Ice Cream
Bambini Ice Cream have been in the business of making top quality Italian ice cream, sorbet, frozen yogurt and desserts for 29 years in South Africa. This has become one of the country’s biggest private owned ice cream suppliers to the hospitality industry.
Luckily for us regular old ice cream lovers, they also supply frozen delights to the public, too. Visit their factory store to sample some of the best Italian ice cream in the province, or shop online and have it delivered straight to your door!
Address: R23a Doornkloof Farm, Rustenburg Road, Magaliesburg.
Fairland Walk
Fairland Walk is conveniently situated on the corner of Beyers Naude Drive and Wilson Street in the suburb of Fairland, Johannesburg. They have everything from Timberland to Forever New and Diesel. It’s the perfect stop for anyone who’s looking for good deals on a range of popular brands. So, whether it comes to factory clothing, shoes or accessories, this shopping centre will have you covered at fraction of the price.
Address: Corner Beyers Naude Drive and Wilson Street, Fairland, Johannesburg.
Forever New
We are forever in love with Forever New and for good reason! Their factory clothing, shoes and accessories are nothing short of a classy affair that we all want to be a part of. Whether you’re in the mood for spoils, retail therapy or gift shopping for a bestie, this store has had girls in Joburg going crazy since their release.
However, their items often have a really fancy price tag which is why you need to make a stop at their factory store in Woodmead. Who would have thought that Forever New would be amongst the list of Woodmead factory shops? Awesome!
Address: Woodmead Value Mart, Waterval Crescent, Woodmead Ext 5, Woodmead, Johannesburg.
Big Blue Clearance Store
Ever seen someone wearing a really clever shirt with a truly South African phrase on it and wondered where it was from? That would be Big Blue. Trust us, if you’ve never popped into one of their stores, you should! Their summer gear is original and well-fitting, but let’s face it, anything that cool can’t be cheap and you’d be right to assume it.
That’s where the Big Blue Factory Shop in Linden comes in. They stock all the same awesome apparel at a fraction of the price. Buy a few shirts at the beginning of summer and you’ve got your tees covered for the rest of the season.
Address: 57 Third Avenue, Linden, Johannesburg.
