Link Hills Lifestyle Centre — Local services in KwaZulu-Natal

This shopping centre boasts some essential shopping tenants like Pick n Pay Supermarket and Mica hardware. The Pick n Pay supermarket has been nicely revamped but still has some stock issues and the occasional expired products on the shelves which is unfortunate. The Mica Hardware is a bit pricey so I tend to only use their store in an emergency, however the staff are helpful, yet could be more knowledgeable. Sadly I see many shops closing which is a turn-off when visiting the centre. Parking is usually easy and parking is free of charge. Other shops I have made use of are PEP which has many bargains, the health shop run by a very sweet elderly couple and the haberdashery also run by long-standing elderly couple. I find some old-world charm in visiting mom and pop stores in a world over-run by 'plastic'...

The Watercrest Mall across the road has to a certain extent being its downfall, especially with most of the fast food outlets moving across the way, in effect taking away a lot of their foot traffic. The Pick 'n Pay, Chemist, Gym, Post Office, KFC & possibly Mica Hardware are their more notable tenants and, although there are others, one would possibly go there for their specific needs as opposed to generalised shopping. Both undercover & open parking are free which is a bonus but the centre needs an injection of sorts to attract patronage - a pedestrian type linking bridge between itself & the Watercrest Mall across the way may seem a little elaborate, but it's probably what the Centre really needs, & of course, would tie in with it being called the Link Hills...

This used to be a lovely little centre, and since The Chilli Pot opened, it became my favorite take-away. For the first time in years, we had the BEST curry and bunny chows at our doorstep. Today I discovered that The Chilli Pot had to close their doors, because their rent was increased to an unaffordable amount. So, Tower Property Group, you clearly have no vision - all you want is money. You have just added another empty shop to an already scarcely populated centre, putting 5 people on the unemployment list. It is absolutely disgusting of you, as this was 1 of the VERY FEW shops bringing foot traffic into the centre. And at the end of February the bookshop is closing ... clearly your biggest skill is running a centre into...
