Amazing savings on offer to celebrate the opening
Following on from the success of Xiaomi’s first authorised store opening at Sandton City, Johannesburg in November, the technology giant is announcing that its second store will officially open on 16 December 2022.
The opening of these two physical stores demonstrates Xiaomi’s recognition of South Africa as a very important market, as well as its continued commitment to bring Innovation for Everyone, as has always been the brand’s mission from the beginning of its journey.
Situated at Shop 82 at Canal Walk Shopping Centre, the new store has already opened for trading, but its official opening date is set for 16 December 2022. The official launch is to give everyone the opportunity to make their way to the store to celebrate this milestone of the brand as well as take advantage of the amazing opening specials.
These include 50% off select items, 10% off other select items, and a free Mi Band 5, valued at R699, with any smartphone purchased in-store. All of these specials are for one day only (on 16 December) and are valid while stocks last (T&Cs apply).
With Cape Town being the second most populous city in South Africa and one of the country’s economic hubs, Xiaomi picked the Mother City for these and many other reasons as the location for its second store. Making smart products more accessible, to make people’s lives easier and more convenient, is being realised thanks in part to the new physical stores in Cape Town and Johannesburg.
Be sure to visit the stores to experience Xiaomi’s range of smartphones and smart home products. Follow the brand on social media as well for more details on specials, competitions and news updates.
