History

The first Angora in Koningstad Centrum

Angora was founded in 1890 as the first modern department store in the country. From 1890 to 1960, Angora only operated in northern Brunant, with stores in Cape Cross, Carrington, Koningstad and Roodstad. Angora only expanded across Brunant after being taken over by the Maxi Group in 1963. In the 1980s and 1990s, the stores in Carrington and Roodstad closed.
