Bank's Shop | 77 Sir Lowry Rd, Cape Town, Cape Town, 8001, Western Cape

BANKS was established in 1939 in District Six, Cape Town. It was started by Avraham Bank and his son Abba Bank - a family shop (hence the business was named after the family name) and remains in the family today. The BANKS that was in District Six was both hiring and selling, however the hiring section was sold many years ago. For those of you who are fortunate to remember the BANKS of District Six, will remember a shop where you could get anything you needed for your kitchen; friendly and helpful staff and a sense of energy, chaos and disorder that somehow seemed to work! BANKS of today, 77 Sir Lowry Road, Cape Town has the same feel that was nurtured by ABBA BANK who sadly passed away in March 2008. It is now run and owned by his daughter, Debbie, and his son-in-law Ian Cohen thus keeping it a flourishing family business. The staff at BANKS are friendly and helpful; and have a friendly banter that creates the chaos and energy of the past! The shop itself has been renovated and is always changing to keep up
