East Rand Mall is a 69,000 sqm regional shopping mall situated a mere 7 km from South Africa's busiest airport, OR Tambo International Airport. The Mall opened in 1992 and has become a popular shopping destination for Boksburg, Benoni, Brakpan, and Kempton Park residents. The well-planned tenant mix includes all of South Africa's major chain stores and a host of smaller specialised clothing stores
, making it a fashion must-see destination on the East Rand. East Rand Mall's first-ever dedicated grocery anchor, Checkers FreshX, opened its doors in a state-of-the-art store that spans an impressive 3,539 sqm, with an additional 216 sqm dedicated to Checkers Liquor opening in 2024. The parking area comprises 1, 489 covered and 2, 359 open spaces. There are accessible disabled parking bays at each entrance. The Mall is one of the retail pillars in the East Rand and is always looking for ways to improve the shopping experience available to shoppers. Redefine Properties and Vukile Property Fund, East Rand Mall's owners, undertook a significant renovation project in 2015. By redeveloping the Mall, an additional entrance was added, increasing the overall size of the Mall and finally combining the old (design in the 1990s) with a more modern overall design.
