• TikToker @kevinmclennanza filmed a walkthrough of the brand-new Pantry store at Fourways Mall in Johannesburg

A Johannesburg food and lifestyle content creator gave South Africans their first proper look inside the newly opened Pantry store at Fourways Mall. TikToker @kevinmclennanza posted the walkthrough on 1 October 2026, and it quickly caught the attention of shoppers and foodies across the country.

The video takes viewers through the brand-new section of Fourways Mall, where the Pantry has set up what can only be described as a one-stop lifestyle destination. The store combines a bakery, an ice cream bar, a full-service restaurant, imported groceries, and home décor, all in a single space.

What immediately grabbed attention in the video was the sheer variety. The bakery section is stocked with freshly baked breads and a wide selection of cakes. The ice cream bar, a fan favourite from previous Pantry locations, features products that have already gone viral on TikTok. Beyond the food, the store carries imported baking ingredients, cereals, and speciality goods that are not easy to find at regular supermarkets.

The home décor section also caught Kevin's eye, offering gifting options alongside everyday items. For those who work remotely, the coffee bar and grab-and-go food counter, stocked with sandwiches and other ready-made meals, make the space a surprisingly practical midweek stop.

Kevin described the store as "a hub for everything all in one," and called it the Pantry that Johannesburg had been waiting for. Watch the full walkthrough of the new Pantry at Fourways Mall below:
