Vukile Property Fund has completed the R141 million redevelopment of Bedworth Centre in Vereeniging.

The Bedworth Centre redevelopment combines enhanced aesthetics and amenities with upgrades to layout, access, and security. Using proprietary customer analytics, the revamp was tailored to ensure the centre remains a cornerstone of convenience and connection for Bedworth Park including the Vaal University of Technology (VUT) and North West University (NWU Vaal Campus), as well as the South East and South West suburbs, the greater Sharpeville, Bopelong, and surrounding growing population.

At the heart of the redevelopment is the introduction of two national grocery anchors, Boxer and Shoprite, both of which opened in late 2024 adding variety and choice to the local retail experience. These additions, alongside an expanded and diversified retail offering, position Bedworth Centre as the dominant convenience retail hub in the area.

The updated tenant lineup spans essential goods, services and aspirational retail with shoppers now benefiting from an enriched variety of food, fashion, homeware and lifestyle offerings all under one roof.

New additions to the centre include Shoprite, Boxer, Hungry Lion, Big Joe Pies, Fish & Chips Co, Factory 88, Jam Clothing, Bellama, Blooming Beauty, Pep Home, OK Furniture and Volpes.

A standout feature of the new retail mix is Pepkor Group’s Home.Tech.Sleep concept store, the second of its kind to open in South Africa, spanning 1 570m².

Additional national brands opened their doors in early 2025, coinciding with the official launch of the updated centre in April, including Sportscene, Kreme Beauty Lounge, Cash Crusaders, Home Décor Villa, with Shoprite and Boxer Liquor anticipated to open soon.

Further elevating Bedworth Centre’s role in the local ecosystem is the addition of a SARS Client Service Centre, located adjacent to the main parking area.
