Creative Talents is one of the major wholesale distributors of a wide range of craft products in South Africa. Its distribution network consists of 100 agencies country wide and seven retail branches situated in shopping malls in the metropolitan areas. The undertaking has established its own manufacturing facilities for paints, chemicals and other products, all marketed under the Creative Talents brand name. The East Rand Traders Square ( Fleamarket ) was one of the first branches, opened in 1998. Where we became a household name. Starting with one stall we grew into a second. Later in 2005 our East Rand mall branch opened in the Galleria, what we called home for 5 years. In these 5 years the monthly rent escalated so rapidly it was hard to keep up and the limited service and aftercare made us re-evaluate our options. We then closed the Traders Square branch and moved the Galleria branch to the Pepper Square Valu Mart across the road from the Mall.
