Barksole

With 32 retail outlets now in operation, Barksole is the largest multiple-repair services chain in the Western Cape.

Over 45 years of experience and efficient service from qualified and enthusiastic staff and owners, high quality materials and professional workmanship have all contributed to establishing Barksole as a household name throughout the Western Cape.

Barksole was founded in Cape Town in 1957 by George Sidney Kavnat, a leather merchant at the time. In 1991 Barksole began franchising its operations and in 1993 it was sold to the Bloom Group. Barksole (Pty) Ltd was incorporated in 1994 by the new owners who decided that the company should undergo a diversification process by the addition of new services to its existing range.

The outlets are owner-operated thus ensuring the best service and attention to quality.

The outlets are located in most major shopping malls as well as suburban shopping centres and mini-malls.

The Barksole Group has a factory, situated at the company’s headquarters, at which major customer repairs that cannot be done in-store are carried out for the Western Cape outlets.

The Barksole franchise is owned by Barksole (Pty) Ltd.
