Looking for Carlton Centre shops A-Z? This A-Z Shop Directory helps you find the right shop, retail category, restaurant option, service page or visitor-planning link before you travel into the Johannesburg CBD. Use this page when you want a quicker route into the Carlton Centre shops directory without needing to browse the full shopping hub first.
Carlton Centre is a well-known Johannesburg CBD landmark with shopping, services and food options connected to everyday city-centre visits. Gandhi Square Precinct describes Carlton Centre as having an underground shopping mall with more than 180 shops, including retail and fast food outlets, which makes a clear A-Z directory useful for shoppers who want to move quickly from search to store choice.
About A-Z Shop Directory
The A-Z Shop Directory is for visitors who know they want to shop at Carlton Centre but need a simple way to find the right place. You may already know the store name, or you may only know the type of errand you need to complete, such as banking, pharmacy, clothing, groceries, shoes, mobile services, beauty, food or general retail.
This page should help you:
- Search by store name
- Browse by retail category
- Find practical services before visiting
- Move from a broad shopping need to a specific store page
- Plan food, parking, directions or transport around your shopping trip
- Return to the main Carlton Centre Shops and Store Directory for broader shopping options
The official Carlton Centre site already positions the shops area around practical categories such as fashion, groceries, banking, mobile services, health and beauty, footwear, electronics and everyday retail services, so this A-Z page should act as a scanning and routing page rather than a replacement for the main shops hub.
Products, services, or categories available
Use the A-Z Shop Directory when you want to move quickly from a shopping need to the correct store or category. The exact tenant list should be checked before publishing and during regular maintenance, but the directory can be organised around practical categories that match how people shop in a busy CBD centre.

Shopping use cases
If you are visiting during a work break, start with the A-Z list and choose the store or category closest to your errand. If you are travelling into town for several tasks, use the directory to group your visit: for example, banking first, then pharmacy, then groceries, then food.
If you are shopping for clothing, shoes or accessories, use the A-Z directory to compare possible store pages before deciding where to go. If you are visiting with limited time, open the specific store page first and check any available trading-hour or contact details before travelling.
Where to find shops in Carlton Centre
The A-Z Shop Directory should help users find the right store page, but it should not try to replace store-level location details. Shop numbers, floor levels, entrances and contact details must be confirmed on the relevant store page or with the store directly before publication.
For best use, browse this page in one of three ways:
- By store name if you already know the tenant you are looking for.
- By category if you know the shopping need but not the store.
- By visit task if you are planning a practical CBD trip with shopping, food, banking, transport or parking.
Carlton Centre sits within the Johannesburg CBD and is closely associated with the Gandhi Square precinct, which makes it a practical destination for shoppers, commuters and visitors planning errands in the inner city.
Opening hours, contact, and visit notes
Opening hours, store contact numbers, tenant availability and service details can change. Treat this page as a directory starting point, not the final source for every store’s current trading information.
Before visiting, confirm:
- Whether the store is currently trading
- The latest opening and closing times
- Public holiday and Sunday trading hours
- Store phone numbers
- Available services at that branch
- Temporary closures, moves or refurbishments
- Any special requirements for banking, pharmacy, repairs, collections or account services
Some retailer locator pages publish store-level details and still advise shoppers to contact the store for accurate trading hours. For example, a Spitz Carlton Centre store listing includes branch details and opening times, while also advising customers to contact the store for accurate store and service trading hours. This is the right approach for the Carlton Centre A-Z directory too: give users a clear route, but verify operational facts before relying on them.
Nearby shops, restaurants, and services
A good A-Z directory should help visitors plan the whole trip, not only find one shop. Many people come to Carlton Centre to complete several errands in one visit, especially when travelling through the Johannesburg CBD.
After finding a store, you may also want to check:
- restaurants at Carlton Centre for fast food, takeaway or sit-down meal options
- plan your visit for practical visitor information
- The main Carlton Centre shops hub for more retail categories
- The Carlton Centre homepage for broader centre information
- Directions, parking or public transport pages before travelling
Gandhi Square Precinct also lists food and beverage options in the surrounding precinct, which is useful for visitors comparing nearby places to eat before or after shopping.
Related stores and categories
Use this section to move from the A-Z directory into the most relevant planned page. The A-Z page should not duplicate every store or category page. Its job is to help users choose where to go next.
Recommended next steps include:
- Carlton Centre shops for the full store directory and retail category hub
- Carlton Centre for broader centre information
- restaurants at Carlton Centre for food and takeaway options
- plan your visit for visitor planning
- Individual store pages for verified tenant details
- Category pages for shopping needs such as clothing, shoes, pharmacy, banking, supermarket, services and mobile stores
This keeps the page focused on Carlton Centre shops A-Z and prevents it from competing with the main shops hub.
