@akowally,hehe! Maybe nashville. @VVS,by the way what is the source of ur info on that latema road site,coz ive noticed the renovations behind those brown garney bags sio mchezo.if its true then i think their precence in the cbd wil be pervasive..imagine all the walmarts oh! sorry woolmatts plus this site! It surely wil be game over for the other competitors.

I am surprised some jamaa has not started a Wal-matt in Kenya! Wal(ton) Mart = Walmart & the HQ is Bentonville, Arkansas Lakini... someone needs to check if Sam Walton has roots/ancestor from Nakuru!!! @zakumi - Those renovations have been going on for a while... Odeon Cinema I think...

Its seems the Nakumatt take-over of Woolmart is nigh.The woolmart chains have been closed for what is believed to be stock taking in readiness for the complete buy-out. As the battle for Supermarket chains in the CBD shapes up,the next frontier is set to be Upper Hill with Tusky's in the process of securing a location in one of the Commercial buildings in Upperhill.

A Tuskys or any other supermarket in Upperhill would be a great sell, I'm sure most guys working there who drive would prefer to shop there before going home.

Wooiiiii, the number of people I have met trying to buy the discounted clearance at the former woolmatt was just overwhelming, the queues outside are just too long plus the inside of the shop is packed to capacity. kenyans love "cheap" things. I only hope the prices were not inflated so that the 25% discounts brings the price back to where it was, the trick adopted by Bata Shoes.

It sure is an interesting turn of events in the retail arena. Uchumi gets out of receivership and Nakumatt is bouncing back, while Tuskys is on a major expansion plan. Naivas and chandaria are also trying to flex what they've got. Looking at most of their websites they have been attempting to sell online. i wonder how they are fairing. Is online shopping the next frontier? click this link and give your comment/complaint Pray
