The Pupkewitz Group, well-known for its longstanding contributions to the Namibian retail landscape, is unveiling an ambitious transformation of its MegaBuild Lifestyle concept at a new location in The Grove neighbourhood in Windhoek. This store introduces an innovative, immersive retail experience to Namibia, blending thoughtful design, convenience and an extensive range of products that speak to all facets of home and lifestyle needs.
This 7,000-square-metre space is more than just a retail venue; it is a destination where a wide cross-section of everyday Namibians can come to be inspired and shop in a relaxed setting that sparks creativity. A significant investment has gone into creating a curated, one-of-a-kind experience, providing customers with an expanded offering of products from floor to roof and interior to exterior, including all of the specialist building supply offerings that MegaBuild is known for. With a stronger emphasis on décor and trend components, the new Lifestyle store caters to those looking to elevate their living spaces, fostering a sense of comfort and individuality that resonates with all visitors.
Collaborative spaces within key product areas will give customers and their design consultants the freedom to experiment with colours, textures and themes in bringing their ideas to life – supported by our knowledgeable staff. The Lifestyle store also emphasises a streamlined shopping experience. The introduction of a Click & Collect service will provide added convenience, making it easy for customers to shop online and pick up their items effortlessly. Thoughtfully designed navigation and spacious parking will ensure that every trip is enjoyable, whether it’s a quick stop or a leisurely morning spend exploring the diverse range of products on offer.
At the entrance to the store, an expansive garden centre will greet shoppers with an array of indoor and outdoor plants and accessories. Designed with the whole family in mind, the space includes an airy coffee shop and a children’s play area, allowing visitors to explore at their own pace.
The store’s design has been crafted to reflect Namibia’s natural beauty, with features inspired by the local landscape and aesthetic. This attention to detail creates a warm, welcoming atmosphere that invites visitors to feel at home.
Andrea Barry, Group Strategy Director and a Pupkewitz family member, describes the new store as a reflection of the Pupkewitz Group’s confidence in Namibia and an ongoing commitment to serving the country’s evolving tastes and needs: “We are delighted to have the opportunity to invest in the future of our country and are proud that this project has employed 240 workers and 34 local subcontractors as it has been brought to life. We are thrilled to soon offer our customers not only a broader product range but also a sophisticated shopping experience that encourages Namibians to explore their own style and creativity.” The extensive product selection includes environmentally friendly and locally produced products, underscoring the brand’s sensitivity to sustainable choices and its commitment to supporting local businesses.
The story of Pupkewitz MegaBuild stretches back to the mid-1940s and represents a business that has grown alongside that of the country, continually adapting to serve its customers. This new store represents the next step in that journey, introducing a retail experience that redefines how Namibians approach home improvement and lifestyle.
As the doors open to this pioneering concept, Pupkewitz MegaBuild is once again raising the bar, setting a new standard for retail in Namibia and inviting all who walk through its doors to reimagine the possibilities for their homes and their lives.
