The first store was based on Mostert Street, between two of the largest retailers- Woolworths and OK Bazaars. It was soon realized that Cape Union Mart had a very different product offering from the big retailers with a very different sort of product range.
During the years of war that followed, Cape Union Mart supplied troops with luxuries and necessities associated with the military. Passing ships and fisherman were also catered for and were supplied Cape Union Mart’s extensive product ranges.
