A familiar counter since the 1980s.
A local Riversdale store built around practical stock, familiar faces and the kind of help that saves a second trip.
Still practical. Still local.
Nieu-Script was started by the Nieuwoudt family in the 1980s, and in 2004 Woutrien Eloff bought over the business and continued growing it as a trusted Riversdale store.
Later, MJ de Jager's section of the building was sold to Nieu-Script so the space could operate as one store. Today it continues to serve school, office, gifting, reading and everyday admin needs from Mitchell Street.
“Same street, same counter, same welcome.”
One store, four chapters.
