New Megabuild branch ready soon

The construction of the new branch of Pupkewitz Megabuild in Walvis Bay progresses well, and the grand opening is scheduled for the second week of December this year.

This new branch will be more than 2 000 square metres in size (from the current 980 sqm).
“We are immensely excited about our new branch taking shape”, explains Mr. Cobus Bosman, Pupkewitz Megabuild’s branch manager in Walvis Bay. To construct the new store, the current branch had to be moved back into what was then the receiving and storage section. With the branch building empty, construction and renovation could start.
Bosman says it is a challenge to operate the current branch, as space is limited and all infrastructure is temporary.
He added staff remains committed to good client service despite this challenge.
“I want to point out to the public that the temporary entrance moved to 5th Street East. That is on the street running parallel to the railway line. We marked the entrance with flags and banners”, said Bosman. (See accompanying Google Earth map and pictures of the temporary entrance).
Adding despite all the hustle and bustle at the construction side, there is ample parking space, and the temporary branch is stocked with a wide variety of products. Staff are friendly and helpful.
The new branch is going to be spectacular and a valuable new addition to Walvis Bay’s shopping experience. More than 2 000 new product lines will be introduced to the existing variety. The new branch will feature among others a garden centre, a coffee shoppe, two entrances, and a system to assist contractors and the bigger hardware client faster and more efficiently.
“This is going to be an extraordinary shopper’s haven for the contractor, the do-it-yourself client, the gardener, the home décor enthusiast and the general shopper alike. From Home improvement, interior decorating, construction to do-it-yourself – our product ranges will cater for both the high-end and lower-end price ranges and there will be variety to choose from”, further explained Bosman.
He is also particularly excited about the paint section where new generation technology will be introduced to blend colours.
You simply have to take a picture with your cell phone of the colour you desire, and with artificial intelligence this machine can blend with 99,9 % accuracy.
“We remain committed to the vision and values our legendary leader, the late Harold Pupkewitz, harboured for his busi-ness – that of working to be the most respected and successful business house and working with customers to help them achieve their goals”, explained Bosman.
Adding every aspect of this new branch in Walvis Bay will be about ease of doing business for customers, service with a smile, speed of service and quality products.
∙The future branch will also have extended business hours.
