About Hart Mark

The Heart of the Story

Hart Mark was born from a simple dream that started at weekend flea markets with a single laser cutter, a passion for creativity, and a vision to build something truly special. What began as a small market stall soon grew into a successful retail destination before leading to the creation of Hart Mark in the heart of Hartbeespoort.

Driven by hard work, determination, and a belief in supporting local businesses, Hart Mark has grown into the largest indoor permanent market in South Africa. Every step of the journey has been built with passion, countless hours of dedication, and a commitment to creating memorable experiences for both visitors and exhibitors.

Today, Hart Mark is far more than just a market—it's a vibrant destination where families, food lovers, creatives, entrepreneurs, and local artisans come together. We are passionate about showcasing proudly South African products, supporting small businesses, and creating opportunities for local entrepreneurs to thrive.

Our commitment to excellence has been recognized through prestigious industry awards, including Businessman of the Year and the African Excellence Award for Best Permanent Market in South Africa. These achievements reflect the passion, innovation, and dedication that continue to drive Hart Mark forward.

Innovation has always been at the heart of what we do. As we continue to grow and evolve, our mission remains unchanged—to celebrate local talent, support community businesses, and create unforgettable experiences for every visitor who walks through our doors.

We are incredibly proud of how far we've come, but even more excited about where we're going. Hart Mark is more than a market—it is a destination, a community, and a place where local businesses flourish.

“Always look for an opportunity.”
