This decision is part of Stiles’ strategic plan to take a more aggressive approach in the region by securing a larger, better-equipped space stocked with an expanded product range and staffed by a professional, dedicated team. The move underscores Stiles’ commitment to improving service delivery and meeting the growing needs of its customers in the Knysna-Plett market.

"While we are sad to close our current location, we see this as a necessary step toward elevating our offering and ensuring a more comprehensive experience for our customers," said Drom van Tonder, COO of Stiles. "Once we secure a new, improved premises, customers can expect a more diverse selection of products, enhanced service, and a space designed to inspire their home and lifestyle projects."

During the transition period, Stiles will remain committed to serving the region. Representatives will visit the Knysna-Plett area twice a week, ensuring that customers continue to receive personalised service. Additionally, Stiles’ delivery truck will maintain its twice-weekly schedule, guaranteeing that product availability and deliveries remain uninterrupted.

Stiles Knysna customers can still reach out to the company for consultations, product recommendations, and updates on the search for the new location. The company will provide regular announcements as progress is made toward the reopening.

"We are excited about the potential to return stronger and more equipped to handle the demands of our Knysna-Plett customers. This temporary closure marks the beginning of a significant transformation that will benefit the community in the long run," added van Tonder.
