Grocery and Pharmacy Essentials All Under One Roof
You know that Sunday afternoon spiral. You need milk, you're out of Panado, you promised yourself you'd actually cook this week and somehow you also need to replace the moisturiser that ran out three days ago. The errands pile up, the list gets longer and, before you know it, you've mapped out four different stops across Cape Town just to get through the basics.
What if you could make it simpler?
Canal Walk Shopping Centre in Century City has quietly become one of the most practical places to sort your life out, all in a single trip. Groceries, pharmacy essentials, a decent bottle of wine – it's all here. No hopping between parking lots. No losing track of time between stops. Just one centre with everything you need.
Fresh Food, Done Properly
When it comes to grocery shopping that doesn't feel like a chore, Woolworths is hard to beat. The fridge section alone is worth the trip, with quality fresh ingredients, a brilliant ready-meal selection for those nights when cooking just isn't happening, and gourmet ingredients that make you feel like you've got your life together. If you're the type who shops with intention and cares about what goes into your trolley, this is your place.
For a full weekly shop, Checkers delivers everything you'd expect from one of South Africa's most trusted grocery stores – great value, a wide product range and enough variety to tick off your entire list in one go. It’s straightforward, reliable and always well stocked.
Pick n Pay at Canal Walk rounds out the grocery offering with a store that's built around flexibility. Whether you're doing a big monthly shopping trip or just grabbing a few things for tonight's dinner, Pick n Pay's range covers the full spectrum. It has fresh produce, frozen food, pantry staples and household basics covered. It's the kind of store that always has what you're looking for, even when you aren’t entirely sure what that is.
Don't Forget the Wine
A proper grocery run deserves a proper finish. Pick n Pay Liquor at Canal Walk takes the guesswork out of choosing something for the weekend. It stocks a solid range of wines, beers and spirits at competitive prices, right there alongside your regular shop. No extra stop required. Just add your drinks to the trolley and carry on.
Health and Beauty, Sorted
The thing about trips to the pharmacy is that they always seem to happen at the worst possible time, when you're already tired, running late and just want to go home. Having both Dis-Chem and Clicks at Canal Walk means that's never a problem.
Dis-Chem is a one-stop health and wellness destination. Fill your basket with prescription medication, vitamins and supplements, skincare essentials and baby products. And there’s an in-store clinic for when you need a little more than just a box of antihistamines. If health is a priority (and it should be), this is where you stock up.
Clicks brings its own strengths to the mix: a fantastic beauty and personal care range, loyalty rewards that actually add up, and a pharmacy that handles everything from chronic medication to your basic over-the-counter needs. If you're a Clicks ClubCard holder, you already know the drill. If you're not, Canal Walk is a good place to start earning loyalty points.
One Trip. Done.
There's something quietly satisfying about arriving home with everything ticked off: fridge stocked, medicine cabinet sorted, nothing forgotten. At Canal Walk, that kind of efficient, stress-free shopping trip isn't just possible. It's the norm.
Canal Walk is easy to get to, parking is plentiful and – with all of these stores under one roof – you can move through your list at your own pace without the chaos of multiple stops across the city.
Come in with your list. Leave with everything on it.
