HIRSCH PMB CELEBRATES ANOTHER YEAR

Last weekend Hirsch PMB celebrated another birthday.  They have been in their present position in Chatterton Street for 3 years now but have had a presence in Pietermaritzburg for 24 years. The store was abuzz with activity from early morning. Customers did not only benefit from the fantastic specials in the shop but enjoyed tasting the treats prepared by the various supplier promoters who were all determined to wow the taste buds! They were also treated to  the delicious birthday cake and children had fun on the Hirsch jumping castle and made some noise on the drums with Drumkidz and could also have their faces painted by the clown instore. The master of ceremonies made sure the music was playing and customers kept updated on specials and activities in store. Hirsch PMB would like to thank all customers for their support over the years and look forward to ensuring homes are filled with good quality products.
