Durban has become the most convenient place for shopping in the city of Cape Town because of the large number of local and international retailers located here. One of the first stores to be converted from a disused building into a retail facility was Durban Bathroom. This store had been in existence since the early seventies and it was still operating during that time. It was open to all customers and had two floor levels with a smaller area of a loft, a second store at the other end of the street and a larger store at the intersection. The last store, which is still there today, was opened by a family from Argentina whose main business activity is home improvement. It has two floors and an interior of glass and white wood furniture and cupboards in white and red colors.

Durban Bathroom is located on the northern end of the Western Boulevard near Mabu. The company has provided a number of bathroom vanities and vanity cabinets for people who want to remodel their bathrooms but do not have the budget for this. They are able to provide quality products and excellent service to their customers. The prices that they charge for their products are also affordable. These items can be purchased in their store or alternatively one can visit a retailer who sells these products and is close to the Durban area.

Among the popular manufacturers of bathroom vanities and vanity cabinets in Durban is Cece vanities. It is located on the corner of the Southern Boulevard and Marine Parade in the area of Gauteng. It offers a wide variety of bathroom accessories and other bathroom fixtures like sinks, toilets, showers, and taps. Apart, from selling its products in Durban, the company also operates stores in Plettenberg Bay and Johannesburg, and also has an international store at Georgetown in Canada. This company is a known name for its bathroom furniture and accessories.
