STORY

CAMP ROADS OPENS ITS DOORS
1941
The two friends Jan and Giddie, also had to obtain special permission to enter the infantry school and sell their goods to the soldiers on a donkey cart. So, on 10 February 1941, the name and concept Café-de-Move-On was registered. To this day, true to the character and soul of our business, we meticulously and lovingly pack our goods to deliver to those who are unable to come to us.

NEW BEGINNINGS FOR JJZ
Jaco, Johan and Zonia take over Camp Roadhouse, Wes Handelshuis and Camp Bakery from the Vorster family. Just like the friends Giddie and Jan who established the business in 1940, these three close friends embarked on the same journey of hope and courage more than seventy years later. Stepping into a new venture, they committed to living their values of Joy, Jointly and Zest.

BELMA VIR THELMA
Always looking for ways to better serve our customers (and make it easier for them to enjoy our delicious take-away meals!), we have created a new delivery service called 'Belma Vir Thelma' (roughly translates to Call Thelma). Any order over R100 will be entitled to free delivery and the bonus is you can also add our regular products we sell in Camp Roadhouse (for those days you are too lazy to come out of the house).
IN THE YEAR....
The story of Camp Roadhouse is a story of hope. A business that was started in 1940 in the middle of a recession amidst the Second World War, built on the faith that all will be well. It is a story of each generation listening to their inner voice and displaying the courage to take the next step into the future while honouring the generation that came before them.
At Camp Roadhouse, Wes-Handelshuis, Camp Bakery & JJZ Enterprises, we are proud of our history and continue to incorporate it where we can in our new ventures. We love to share our experiences and hope that you will take a moment to stand still at the various contributions and milestones we’ve achieved & celebrated over the past 77 (!!!) years!
