I walked into this shop looking for a mountain bike this afternoon after mine was stolen. My insurance paid out and I am ready to replace, I must say a Beautiful array of bikes, but alas the shop felt empty of assistance. The coffee smelt good from the coffee shop next door. Someone appeared from the back and proceeded with, I gather a manager from the back rooms with a co-worker discussing “something” on a bicycle wheel, still hoping to get assistance and help, I was disappointed that they would rather discuss the problem at hand, rather than me toiling in the shop. I made a few up and downs and still nobody helped me. I walked out. Such an upmarket store …. Stunning …. I will never come back.

I visited the shop this morning and it is the second time in 2 weeks where the service is absolutely terrible. Staff see you come in and do not even approach you to ask if you need assistance and are very unfriendly. They also have hardly any stock of anything. I will never support them again

Visited the shop today with Shane helping my wife set up her bike. As a total novice to the sport I cannot stress how pleasant our experience was. Shane went out of his way to show, teach and get things just so. A true ambassador of the sport and we’ll definitely be back if everyone in the store is this dedicated and professional.

Spacious store with plenty of Specialized bikes and clothing. If youre a cyclist its difficult to leave without finding something to buy.

Excellent service and a very inviting space. Friendly staff with great expertise and knowledge. Youll definitely get good advice and of course a fantastic bicycle. Highly recommended and worth a visit. Although they sell Specialized bicycles, they can service any bicycle.

The best cycleshop with very good and friendly people!Im cycling since 2,5 years around the world. i had a problem. and instead of sending me to another place (like other cycle shops done), they really helped me to solve that problem. Thank you so much!

The checkers at this centre is very good. There is an abundance of variety for all. They recently placed an electronics department that stocks various gadgets.The veg produce is good with some additional extras that can be used for exotic dining.The staff is helpful and friendly.There is also a spice shop that is fantastic which we always go to fire our spice provisions.Overall, these two shops are the reason as to why we go to this centre.

Would not recommend them got much better customer service from other bike shops. Staff try and not look your way or even great. They have little stock and when you tell them that you are interested to purchase a bike they have excuses of it not even being loaded on the system. Pathetic.

Some cool shops at this centre. Always parking available. Just a mission getting out of the parking lot. Otherwise all good. Enjoy popping into this checkers. Shelves are usually full. Staff are fairly friendly.

Variety of products to offer..... Even cars. More than enough parking space. Checkers Hyper the main reason for shoppers. Prices are very competitive. All the shops, entrances, toilets, and parking are kept clean.

Checkers Hyper: The best general retailer by far in the area. Luv shopping there. Great bargains competitively priced. Also, Checkers liquor store conveniently situated.

Review №21

Staffed by cyclists who never over-promise and then under-deliver. If you live on the West Coast, this should be your mountain bike shop of choice. The SMS workshop notification system, is a simple and hugely convenient way to help you plan your day, whilst your bike is in for work.

I love coming to this shopping center. It is always such a peaceful non rushed experience. And I always find what I need.

Review №23

Its a relaxed place with only a handful of useful retail shops to visit. I only went to Checkers hyper during this visit but Ive been to some of the fast food places and even the Takkie Town there and theyre all of a pretty good standard.

Jo
Review №24

This Checkers is so well managed, and really affordable. always clean and stocked with everything one could want. As far as Checkers goes.. the fresh produce there is of the highest quality. Bought loads of fruit, and it kept well. If I have to be critical, I would say they could spend money on educating their staff, and installing a higher level of service from their cashiers. Not alot of courtesy at the tills. Service always overshadows savings.

Review №25

Besides Food Lovers Market and a factory ice cream shop it has nothing going for it. Lots of empty shops and the other shops that are there one would seldom use. Cant see this centre making it. Good Lovers is good always have specials..e.g. today was ten rand Tuesday. Often have fifty rand Friday or wacky Wednesday.

Changing my review now to 1 Star, Because as of lately the entrance is a smokers corner, And I have to walk, with my toddler, through clouds of smoke pretty much every time when entering. Security do nothing about it despite asking them to do something. Emailed Management and heard nothing back after they replied asking for more specifics. My understanding is its illegal to smoke in public spaces. But who is accountable for it. Perhaps I should push for some more legal action.

Review №27

Another centre....not much happening. Checkers Hyper for those specials...a furniture store and a few small shops....lots and lots of free parking. The BEST is that this shop is never overfull, as its slightly away from others it attacks less of a crowed

Checkers Hyper has whatever your household needs. The surrounding gems like Nibbly bits, Jam clothing offers good prices on stock. A lovely convenient and easy on the pocket shopping experience.

Sandown Retail Crossing has ample parking and is great for shopping with the family. With more than one area where small children can play, its easy to leave one parent with them while the other goes and does the shopping. There isnt much you wont be able to find at Sandown and its better than trying to push your way through the crowd in some of the bigger shopping malls in the area.

Fantastic checkers with a massive toy section. And extensive toiletry section and quite a large clothing selection .. Everything you could possibly need under one roof from pool cleaning equipment to garden furniture to out door camping equipment to every type of home appliance to underwear and over a hundred types of cheese to choose from..

I like Checkers Sandown Crossing. It is a friendly shopping environment and thd staff are very helpful. They will go the extra mile for shoppers and will make a plan to be helpful. If you cannot find what you want, they will request your details and once they have the item, contact you.

Review №40

I used to live in Sandown apartments and because of the retail crossing present nearby , you can go and get stuffs easily as everything is readily available there whether its checkers, mcd, etc. The only request is to extend the timings if possible as sometimes office people comes back after 7 and its closed. So , if it will be open till 8, it will be really helpful.

Quite a few soft furnishing/interior shops, and a huge Checkers from which we bought security gates, a vacuum cleaner and food. Some of the usual major chain stores, but so welcoming to see smaller privately owned shops as well. Parking a plenty. And the Myciti bus stops in front of the centre.

A nice shopping center with easy access and plenty of parking needs more shops to open with diversity of products Center management should work on this with the dominance of Checkers it is a pity not to use this shopping attraction

Thanks again to Shane and the team for always having a can-do attitude and for going above and beyond. Youve earned a customer for life! I strongly encourage anyone whose needing to service their bike, on the market for a new bike or just needing a few odds and ends to get in touch with Cycles Direct.

Very nice shopping experience. Checkers Hyper has always great specials on. Loving their hardware section, it is cheaper than any other hardware and I always shop their for my Handyman needs and skills. Food section is good and huge ails and stocking just everything one regularly needs.Just needs more till staff as I always see from around the 25th of every month, the qeues are long and customers frustrasions builds up. Can never understand why at the bussiest time of the month, the staff are less. One sees cash registers standing empty and not in operation.
