Pantry by Marble Expands to Johannesburg South with New Bassonia Location

The Marble Group is bringing its signature blend of luxury and convenience to Johannesburg South. Following the success of its flagship hybrid store in Rosebank and the recent standalone launch in Hazelwood, the brand has confirmed its next footprint will be in Bassonia.

Scheduled to open on 22 January 2026 at the Omni Square Shopping Centre, the new store aims to transform the local retail landscape by offering residents the brand's renowned "fancy but easy" food and lifestyle experience.

“This has been a significant project for us; one we’ve been working towards for quite some time. Collaborating with our construction and design teams, we’ve created a space that reflects both the Pantry identity and the character of the community. With the final stages now underway, we’re looking forward to opening our doors in this area of Joburg,” says Gary Kyriacou, co-founder of Pantry, part of the Marble Hospitality Group.

What Shoppers Can Expect

Pantry Bassonia will continue the curated blend of supermarket, deli, bakery, and retail that has defined the brand since its Rosebank debut.

The store will offer all the Pantry favourites, including:

• Freshly prepared meals, sandwiches, salads, pizzas, burgers, pregos
• A wide selection of grab-and-go meals
• A dedicated coffee station, along with artisan pastries, breads and baked goods crafted by Pantry’s award-winning pastry head chef, Megan Meikle, and her team
• Soft-serve, milkshakes, and other nostalgic Pantry treats, including weekend pancakes and Donut Wednesdays, where new flavour combinations launch on the last Wednesday of every month
• An expansive wine selection chosen by Marble Hospitality Sommeliers
• A bespoke butchery- premium pre-packaged meats selected by Pantry’s expert butchers, with specific cuts available on request.
• Fresh flowers by Lou Lou D

The upcoming store launch marks the next step in Pantry’s expansion journey, as the Marble Hospitality Group continues to roll out its signature food experience in key neighbourhoods across the country.
