Takealot closing down Pickup points?

[Adhvik]

Perhaps Takealot getting ready to take on the sleeping giant Amazon when they set up here or make the financials look good for a possible takeover by the likes of Amazon or Alibaba. Reduce your staff count and overheads is a clear sign of a big change to come.

Fair enough...I work from home so deliveries are no issue for me.

I also work from home. But I'm not always at home. The Waterkloof one was very convenient.

Thread title is misleading .... sounded like it was a confirmed deal and they're all closing down

So at least 4 pickup points in Pretoria are closing down. In some cases the employees does not even know that. So what is misleading?

They are back! Maybe they just needed to do some modifications/renovation?

I received a message today that Waterkloof has re-opened.

Same for Hatfield, Centurion, Wonderboom Junction and Faerie Glen in the Pretoria area.

Maybe they weren't actually closing. Maybe they just needed some renovations.

Maybe they weren't actually closing. Maybe they just needed some renovations.

Then they would have stated that? Or stated temporarily closed?

Any case I'm glad they open.
