Says Cindy Hall, marketing manager of Häagen-Dazs South Africa: “The introduction of the shop to the mall makes for a perfect fit as both brands are leaders in their respective categories. The Hyde Park Shopping Centre is ideally located in the heart of Johannesburg's affluent northern suburbs and was recently voted the most loved of Johannesburg's best known malls. More than five hundred of the world's foremost international brands can be found within this landmark shopping centre.”
Zaid Surtee, the franchise owner in South Africa says that the shop opening is not only a momentous occasion for him but he is also privileged and honoured to be part of the Hyde Park family. He feels that Hyde Park shoppers now have the convenience of a sophisticated and elegant ice cream Shop to indulge their taste buds.
“I hope to enjoy a successful relationship with management and shoppers at Hyde Park; my team endeavours to always offer service that goes with our brand. The Häagen-Dazs moment should, after all, be a very special one every time,” he adds.
The shop offers a selection of 16 different ice cream flavours such as Cookies & Cream, Strawberry Cheesecake and Belgian Chocolate with a variety of toppings, and also features patisseries, hot and cold ice-cream drinks as well as variety of coffees.
Until end May 2009, the New Limited Edition Chocolate Hazelnut Brittle (an ice-cream combination of dark chocolate, hazelnut swirl and pieces of hazelnut brittle) will be exclusively available at Hyde Park, V&A Cape Town and Sandton City branches.
Häagen-Dazs Hyde Park is open seven days a week as well as on public holidays.
