Nakumatt - whats happening

As any typical middle class person, I prefer to shop (ok will correct that), buy a few things from the Malls and thats mostly in Nakumatt, whose slogan - You Need It, We've Got It - has been on point for many years.

Having lived along Enterprise Road Nairobi for many years as I was growing up, most of the stuff I needed was bought from the local shops, for convenience , class :), etc.


The first supermarket that I went to was City Matt, that was about 1.5 Km from our house. It was at the Jogoo/Lusaka/Landhies roads round about. At some point I went to the Nakumatt that is just across Nyayo stadium and I must admit I was very impressed by what I saw.


Nakumatt would become my favorite place whenever I needed to buy anything and wasn't in a hurry. Nakumatt TRM, CTM (Mombasa) & Westgate are top the list of Nakumatts that I buy stuff in.


Of late there have been rumors of Nakumatt being in dire straits. Which I really hope is not true, or if its true that they will recover to the Nakumatt that Kenya has gotten used to for many many years - a brand that is known for top quality and fresh stuff.

I was there to buy some milk today and the polythene bags used today weren't usual ones that they use.. There have been empty shelves before in a small branch across City Hall. But this at one of its biggest prestigious branches came as a surprise to me.

All the same, all the very best to Nakumatt, you are a good brand.
