Game's competitor filling the gap left by Dion Wired

[Daniel Puchert]

The big South African retailer competing with Game

Family-owned department store group Kloppers is taking on Game and filling the gap left after Massmart abruptly closed all its Dion Wired stores in March 2020.

All three retail brands have histories dating back to the 1960s and 70s, and benefited tremendously from television's arrival in South Africa in 1976.

They're in Durban too. Except that they can hardly speak afrikaans there so I've heard it called everything from tafelborough to Tayfillburg.

Never heard of Kloppers.

Nor had I. They have an online shop.

I bought a few things in their Knysna store. I would not compare them to dion wired though.

Almost like Yuppiechef and Tafelberg mixed.

 

[Longboi]

They smaak filling in the gaps, ja.

 

[Snyper564]

They opened a beast of a store now in Pretoria.

Their PC section for example will give enthusiast PC stores a run for their money but they compare pretty well to a "new Dions"

I didn’t see much PC stuff in their Knysna store. This must be a new thing.

 

[Longboi]

We really need more brick and mortar PC/Component stores. This online nonsense is easier but I miss the old days of walking into a PC-Zone and having a look at stuff.
