Nairobi’s Karen residents were offered a perfect “Fathers Day” treat after leading shopping outlet Naivas Supermarket opened their 95th branch amid thunderous cheers and massive celebrations.
This is the second branch within the Karen upscale suburb after unveiling their first outlet in 2020 at the Waterfront Mall.
The outlet sits at the busy inter section of Langata and Langata south roads covering 10,000 square feet of trading space. The new facility bears the elevated road market model which Naivas first introduced in Naivas food market Greenspan early last year.
Addressing the audience that included esteemed customers, suppliers, Media and families that came for shopping, Naivas chief commercial officer Willy Kimani said they were elated to be back at Karen following the success of their first outlet in the area.
“We do not take it for granted that the brand has not only been accepted but is now a valued addition to the celebrated Karengate community. As we celebrate the opening of the 95th branch, we are also officially kicking off the countdown to the 100th branch in which we are calling the # Road to 100. We are delighted that as a home grown Kenyan brand, we have reached heights previously unprecedented in the retail industry . It is not lost on us, the responsibility we bear to society as a business whose DNA is Kenyan, a responsibility that we fulfil”Kimani noted.
