The new Local is Lekker Market in Randburg celebrates the creativity and spirit of Joburg’s homegrown entrepreneurs. Hosted inside Randridge Mall, this market in Johannesburg offers a lively space where local makers can share their passion with the community. Visitors can browse stalls filled with handcrafted goods, artisanal foods and unique creations that reflect the city’s vibrant culture.
By focusing on small businesses that design and produce their own work (no imports or drop-shipped goods!), the market highlights originality over mass-produced items. It’s a gathering that not only supports local talent but also encourages shoppers to discover, connect and invest in truly South African craftsmanship. Here’s what to expect.

What to expect at the Local is Lekker market
Randburg is one of Johannesburg’s most diverse and bustling suburbs, and has long been known for its community spirit and love of local markets. The Local is Lekker Market builds on this tradition by creating a platform where small business owners can showcase their handmade products to a wide audience.
The interior walkways of Randridge Mall will transform into a popular shopping hub to spotlight creativity and connection. Shoppers can explore everything from handmade crafts and jewellery to fresh bakes and artisanal foods, while meeting the entrepreneurs behind each product.
This initiative goes beyond shopping—it’s about empowerment. By giving unique creators direct access to customers, the market supports economic independence and celebrates innovation. It is designed for start-ups, independent makers and family businesses rather than large retailers, ensuring a genuine focus on community upliftment.
