Crazy Store Catalogue This Week

Crazy Store catalogue 2026: what the October leaflet looks like

Some shops you visit for a list, and some you visit to see what is new. The Crazy Store is the second kind, and its leaflets reflect that. The edition in our listing is called "Crazy Store Specials", runs from 15 to 31 October 2026 and has ten pages, which lines up with the Halloween 2026 leaflet and promotion that the official site is also featuring. We hold no price data and our listing shows no usual start weekday, so read the dates and the numbers straight from the scan.

Shoppers searching for the brand tend to add categories: toys, balloons, costumes, umbrellas, photo frames. That fits a store whose website sorts its range into departments such as books, DIY and hardware, party, seasonal, and toys, games and sport.

The Crazy Store and its 500-plus branches

The store finder page carries the heading "536 Stores and Counting", and the about-us page says the company has operated for more than 27 years across South Africa, Namibia, Botswana and Swaziland (Eswatini). Business Day reported in October 2024 that the chain had just opened its 500th store, that it is privately held and family-owned, and that it imports about 75 percent of its products. Daily Investor's profile names Melbro as the owner, and sources disagree on whether the first store opened in 1995 or 1997, so we avoid a firm start date.

The same coverage describes a chain that picks areas where people have disposable income and funds expansion from its own pocket. For a shopper, the point is simple: there is probably one near a mall you already visit. The store finder, not this page, has the live list.

Crazy Store trading hours and public holidays

Trading hours is one of the first things people type, including Sunday, Saturday and public-holiday versions. The store finder page we opened shows no hours, so malls set the times and your branch will follow its centre. Ring the centre or look at its website before a holiday trip, especially in the December rush when many people hunt for decorations and gifts.

Crazy Club: what you get for signing up

The site invites you to "Join the CRAZY CLUB", which it describes as a newsletter sign-up. You give a name, email, contact number, location and date of birth, accept the terms and opt in to email and other electronic messages. Members hear about deals, launches and competitions, and you can opt out at any time. We found no points system or card tied to it, so treat it as a mailing list.

Crazy Store returns, refunds and gift wrapping questions

The refunds and returns page is short and clear. Refunds or exchanges are accepted within 30 days of purchase, if the item is in its original packaging and saleable condition. Keep the till slip: without it, a refund is paid at the item's current system price rather than what you paid. The about page also promises a quality guarantee that offers an exchange or refund.

Searches ask whether the store does helium balloons, gift wrapping, layby, Payflex or deliveries. The pages we opened do not confirm any of these, so call the branch before planning a party around them. What is confirmed is a partnership with The Courier Guy for in-store collection and direct shipping from the store counter, with pickup points listed on the site.

One more note from the site: it lists leaflets and promotions as separate sections, so the Halloween material may appear in both. If something in the leaflet looks like a good fit for a school function or a children's party, screenshot the page and show it at the till if there is any doubt.

Shopping the Crazy Store catalogue wisely

• Check the closing date: this edition ends on 31 October 2026.
• Think seasonal: Halloween ends quickly, then Christmas lines move in.
• Keep your slip for the 30-day window.
• Phone ahead for a specific toy, because a leaflet is not a stock list.
