Check with Kestrel. There are buyers who want more shares.

OK... so Deacons is aggressive about expansion. The late opening of Galleria (Langata) made them miss the Xmas rush for those stores.

The CEO made 14mn in 2010 [Not bad!] Not sure about other benefits/perks.

30% sales happen during Xmas. New brands coming including babyshop which will be for expectant & new mothers.

90% of customers are women. Men are a tough market for them since their 'target' market go shopping abroad.

Can't really count on expectant and new mothers. Their maximum contribution (of newborns) can only come once every financial yeas!

Kenyans breed like rats [among the world's highest birth rates]. Hopefully, enough of them can afford to shop at babyshop.
