Gift Ideas for Dad
SLIVERS BILTONG & NUTS
Dad's going to need plenty of biltong to snack on in the next few weeks as there will be a lot of rugby and world cup soccer matches to watch.
I am always amazed at the excellent price of the biltong at the Slivers Biltong & Nuts Factory Shop in Kommetjie and pleased to see that they are offering great Father's Day specials, meaning even greater savings can be made.

90g Beef Biltong PLUS 200g Mixed Nuts Roasted & Salted
Normally selling at R71.00
Now R51.00
200g Trail Mix

(These specials run until Saturday 14th June or while stock lasts) |

COMPASS BAKERY
While you are in Kommetjie why not pop into Compass Bakery around the corner from Slivers Biltong & Nuts and stock up with some teatime treats to share with Dad on Father's Day. They bake for a leading retailer and offer a wonderful array of good quality cakes and biscuits. If you can't make it to Kommetjie, remember they now have branches in Cape Town and Diep River. |

FATHER'S DAY COMPETITION
Not sure about your household but in ours we find we can never have too many pairs of socks, as invariably one of the pair will disappear never to be seen again!

Father's Day Specials
FREE COFFEE FOR DADS!
On Saturday 14 June, as a way of wishing dads, a Happy Father's Day, all dads will receive a free cup of coffee at the Merrypak Coffee Shop in N'dabeni. This means that while their wives are busy shopping dads can relax with a cup of coffee and watch sport on the TV in their coffee shop! (They also have wifi.)
If you want to treat Dad to breakfast then it's best to get to Merrypak early because if you order the Early Bird Breakfast Special at the Merrypak Coffee Shop before 9 am you will pay only R20 for the breakfast consisting of an egg, rasher of bacon, fried tomato, slice of toast and a cup of filter coffee. Definitely good value for money!
Plus, every Monday afternoon during June and July, between the hours of 3.00 and 4.00pm, Merrypak invite pensioners to enjoy a free cup of tea or coffee and a muffin at their coffee shop. (Proof of pension required). |

CONGRATULATIONS!
Congratulations to A1 Hyper Chickens in Epping 2 who recently celebrated their 20th Birthday! A1 Hyper Chickens have appeared in The A-Z of Factory Shop in the Western Cape, since they opened and it has been fantastic to watch how they have grown and continue to remain an excellent shop to visit, especially if you are looking to buy chicken in bulk. We wish them many more years of success.

Factory Shop News
THANK YOU
I am presently working on the 13th edition of my book, The A-Z of Factory Shops in the Western Cape, and during the course of the past few months I have visited over 300 factory shops in the Western Cape. Since the first edition of my book, my visits to factory shops have always been anonymous and unannounced, and I would like to take this opportunity to thank the many factory shop assistants for the fantastic and friendly service I have received when visiting the various shops. On many occasions the assistance received has been way beyond expectations. By comparison, more often than not when I visit retail stores where I am expected to pay full price, I receive scant attention or assistance.
Wishing all dads a very happy Father's Day – May you enjoy a wonderful day filled with many blessings.
