The journey food travels, right from its source up until the moment it is styled in its packaging, can be incredibly beautiful & we want to celebrate that.
Our Mission
Our mission is to provide South African foodies with a platform to shop a wide range of local & imported speciality goodies that are ordinarily hard to come by
Every bit of food we eat carries a rich amount of history & an opportunity for storytelling
We want to do our best to facilitate those conversations
Courtney
Hi there! My name is Courtney
& from a very young age I have been enlivened by diverse and universal culture trends, whether it be in people; food or fashion. This has, over the years, manifested itself in many different personal projects including a handful of business ventures scattered right through from my junior school years until long after university.
In 2019 after 6 years of studying in Cape Town & 3 years working in Johannesburg, I qualified as an Attorney.
My years working in Corporate confirmed one thing to me - that my future lay instead in the colourful, beautiful & exciting world of people & food!
How & Why
And so, at the beginning of 2020 I moved back to Kwa - Zulu Natal & joined my parents in their retail food business. With their 30+ years of experience in the industry I realized that I had lots to learn! Dealing with margins; expiry dates & incoming inventory is no easy feat!
But at the same time, back in my small home town, I was quickly reminded of how limited our product offering was. I desperately missed my weekly visits to the varying food markets on the weekends and meeting impassioned vendors & tasting their product.
It dawned on me that this pass-time was a privilege only few could enjoy. This didn't feel right. I wanted to be closer to hard to reach, niche products (local & international) and I felt that others should too.
I strongly believe that every foodie should be able to shop from a wide product offering. I don't want shoppers to settle for their second best option simply because of their geographical location.
I want to ensure every South African foodie has access to all the beautiful brands that they crave.
And so Corner Market Club was born as a way to celebrate & connect speciality suppliers to craving customers.
