History of Baby Buzniz

Baby Buzniz was started in 1992 by Retha Joubert, who realized that there was a demand for quality baby products as the commercially available items did not always meet the specific needs of discerning moms. At that time, Anne Hoare, director of Baby Buzniz Franchise Pty Ltd. was running a daycare center for babies. Retha and Anne put their heads together to design and produce the first suitable and practical nappy bag for mom’s and crèches. Initially an activity cushion (donut) was produced and marketed at the local Pretoria art and craft markets. Retha also created the unique name to our company and our warthog design.

These baby products became such a success that shortly after moving to Ermelo with her family, Retha launched a factory which produced on a much larger scale. The product line has expanded to include Sleeping Bags, Back Packs, Carry Cots and Toy Barrels.

Unfortunately, tragedy struck in 1997 when Retha and her two baby daughters were killed in a motor accident. The business was then run by her husband and sister-in-law Marica until Anne purchased the business and brought it back to Pretoria in 1998.

Realizing the need for catering to the specific needs of the mommy-to-be, Anne opened the first Baby Buzniz store in Lynnridge Mall, Pretoria . This was an immedimapate success, as Baby Buzniz offers not merely what is commercially available, but rather special tailored one-on-one service with the goal of providing exactly what you, as the customer requires. You receive tailored service to meet your specific needs.

Because of our growing Buzniz we have since becomne a company with Franshise outlets.
