The Mum’s Mail Readers’ Choice Awards are prestigious awards recognising outstanding businesses who serve busy women and moms. This month our readers have been busy giving us their opinions on Durban’s Best Factory Shops. Factory shops by their very nature are often hidden away in industrial areas and so word of mouth recommendations are the best way to learn of great businesses who offer quality products at bargain prices. We are delighted to share some of this year’s reader nominations for ‘Best Factory Shop’ and we know they will help moms find value for money.
