Steers Butterworth Contact Details

There is one Steers at Butterworth, and it is on the N2 rather than in the town centre. Worth knowing before you search: Steers files this outlet under Gcuwa, which is the official name of the town, so a search for Butterworth on the restaurant finder may return nothing while the store exists perfectly well.

Steers Shell Ultra City Butterworth

• Telephone: 047 050 0170
• Address: Shell Ultra City Butterworth, N2, Gcuwa, 4960
• Monday to Friday and Sunday: 08h00 to 21h00
• Saturday: 09h00 to 21h00

Note the Saturday opening is an hour later than the rest of the week, which is unusual and catches people who stop for an early breakfast on the way to the coast.

Butterworth or Gcuwa

Gcuwa is the official name and Butterworth the older one, and both remain in daily use. Signage, maps and delivery apps are inconsistent about it: some list the town, some the ultra city, some neither. If an app cannot find the store, search the Shell Ultra City rather than the brand, or use the number above and order directly.

A stop on the N2

This is a highway service stop between East London and Mthatha, so its rhythm is traffic rather than town trade. Expect it to be busiest in the late morning and again in the late afternoon, and considerably busier over long weekends and the December and Easter migrations, when the whole N2 corridor backs up. If you are timing a journey, the 21h00 closing is the constraint: there is no late-night option here, and the next comparable stop is a long way in either direction.

Ordering ahead

• Phone the store directly for a large or group order rather than arriving with it
• Delivery coverage from a highway forecourt is limited, and often does not extend into the town itself
• Keep the till slip; a franchised store handles its own complaints and cannot act without it

If something goes wrong

• Raise it with the store on 047 050 0170 the same day
• For a food hygiene concern, environmental health at Mnquma Local Municipality is the regulator
• For an unresolved consumer complaint, the National Consumer Commission handles complaints against suppliers
