• Boardmans has returned to physical stores nearly eight years after its nationwide closure as of 5 October 2026
• The retailer will combine furniture, homeware, bedding, kitchen products, appliances and other household essentials in one shopping destination, with customers able to shop for multiple rooms and everyday household needs in one place
• The revival also includes bringing Boardmans’ online operations together with Rochester, Pepkor’s furniture retailer, with customers visiting Rochester.co.za being redirected to a dedicated Rochester section within Boardmans.co.za
