Beares Catalogue This Week

Beares catalogue 2026: a 24-page furniture and appliance brochure

Beares is a furniture and appliance name, and its catalogue behaves like one: the edition we hold is a 24-page specials brochure for 5 October to 8 November 2026, a run of about five weeks that began on a Monday. A catalogue that long is meant to be kept on the coffee table while you decide on a lounge suite or a fridge. Searches for it come in several flavours, including the PDF, the version with prices, and regional ones such as Gauteng and Namibia. Because edition dates shift from one catalogue to the next, treat the dates printed on the front of each edition as the schedule to follow.

Product-type searches such as Beares fridges specials, Beares TV specials and Beares Black Friday specials show that people treat the catalogue as an appliance guide as much as a furniture one.

The Beares story, from three little bears to Lewis

This is an old South African name. Per the historical accounts we found, Beares started out manufacturing, and Aaron Beare opened the first retail shop in 1933 to sell directly to the public. The group listed on the stock exchange in 1968, and by 1974 had around 125 shops and 3,000 employees. The logo, the Three Little Beares, became part of the brand's identity.

The modern chapter is about ownership. Lewis bought the Beares business from Ellerines in late 2014, which Lewis's CEO said helped the group reach higher-income customers, and in 2015 Lewis bought 62 Ellerines and Beares stores across southern Africa for around R250 million. Beares today is one of Lewis Group's trading brands, alongside Lewis, Best Home and Electric, Bedzone and UFO. BusinessTech put the group's base at 958 outlets across seven brands in November 2025.

Credit and accounts at Beares

Many of the searches about this brand are about money rather than sofas: Beares credit application, Beares furniture online application and loan applications. The official site has an Apply for Credit form and says that Lewis Stores (Pty) Ltd is licensed as a controlling company under the Insurance Act and is a wholly owned subsidiary of Lewis Group. Terms are not set out on the page we could read, so check the credit agreement with the store, including the cost of credit, before you sign.

Creating an online account is said to speed up checkout, give access to competitions and show discounted deals first.

How to read a big furniture brochure

With 24 pages to get through, start with the room you are actually furnishing and ignore the rest on the first pass. Note the product names and model details rather than the page numbers, because that lets you compare the same item at another retailer. Appliances in particular are easier to compare by model than by description. If the brochure is for the wrong country, you will see it quickly on the cover, so check that before you plan the purchase around it.

Which countries does Beares serve?

The website carries a currency switcher for South Africa, Botswana, Namibia, Eswatini and Lesotho. That is why you will see searches such as the Beares catalogue for Namibia. Make sure the catalogue you are reading matches your country, since offers and ranges may differ.

Delivery, returns and contact

• What a loyalty card or app offers can change from one region or branch to the next. Ask at the branch which programmes and services run there.
• Returns and Refunds sit under the Support menu and link to the terms and conditions page.
• The toll-free number on the site is 0800 121 186.

Return windows, refund methods and price-adjustment rules are not identical across stores or channels. Read the conditions at the till or on the receipt, and keep proof of purchase.

Beares trading hours and Sundays

Searches for Beares trading hours often return unrelated names such as bear-themed places, so type the store name with your town. The hours a branch keeps, and whether it opens on holidays, depend on its location and on local regulations. Before you plan a trip, read the signage on the door or the posting at the branch itself. Phone the store, or use the store selector on the website.

Compare Beares with other home retailers

A sensible plan is to read the Beares brochure beside OK Furniture specials catalogue, Coricraft catalogue this week and House and Home specials. Beares is a furniture and appliance seller, so we file it with home and garden catalogues. You can also see the whole range of retailers on the South Africa catalogues page.
