Mara phones has opened South Africa’s first experience store at the Maponya Mall in Soweto, south of Johannesburg.
The opening of the store on Thursday comes exactly a year since the company opened the first smartphone manufacturing facility.
Mara says the opening of two facilities – one retail and one manufacturing – within a short space of time represents bold steps for Africa’s most established home-grown smartphone brand in a challenging but promising environment.
Sylvester Taku, Head of Growth at Mara Phones South Africa says 50 Mara Experience Stores, both company owned and independently operated, are on the cards before the end of 2022.
“The launch of the first Mara Experience Store cements our commitment to expand our retail footprint in South Africa and to make it easier for customers to experience and purchase our smartphones.”
Mara’s new store enables customers to experience the look and feel of Mara Phones devices while being able to interact with Mara Phones technical specialists in their own community.
The store will not only stock the latest Mara Phones devices but will also sell the latest accessories including phone covers and screen protectors.
