Sad to see Dion Wired in Centurion has closed down.

From the article today

Dion Wired launched its first store in Centurion in 2006, with the aim of creating South Africa’s premier consumer electronics and appliances store.

and to think now you don't get a store in Centurion anymore.

Is the closest Dion Wired in Mall of Africa or Lynwood in Pretoria? That is so far away.
And those are not even half the size the one in Centurion was.

Was the Dion Wired in the Centurion Lifestyle Centre the only store in Centurion? I know it is basically moving to Mall of Africa.

Yes that is the one. It's already closed down.

The one in mall of Africa is half the size. To call it a move is to say you are moving to a one bedroom flat because you need space for your mother in law.

They haven't even removed Centurion from their website.

Pretoria East has two Dion Wired's. Centurion is massive and growing. It's a strange decision.

I will definitely not visit Mall of Africa just to go to Dion Wired. I liked the fact that it was easy to access at the Centurion Lifestyle Centre.

The next best for us is Woodmead.

I agree. To wait 20minutes to get from the offramp to the mall of Africa you see is just spitting distance away, to only have a tiny IC and a smallish sized Dion Wired to go browser and then to queue to pay for parking for 10+ minutes to end your trip. Not an enjoyable shopping experience if you're a guy.
