Empty Shelves at Tuskys Supermarket Leave Customers in Shock ¶
Published on July 15, 2020
Tuskys Supermarket is facing a severe crisis as empty shelves have become a common sight in its stores. The retailer's struggles have left customers worried about its future.
A customer, Simon Omondi, took photos of the empty shelves at Tuskys, which have been shared widely on social media. The photos show a stark contrast to the well-stocked shelves that customers have come to expect from the retailer.
Customers have been expressing their concerns about the state of Tuskys Supermarket on social media. Kaka Karim reported on Facebook, 'Is it just me or is Tuskys showing signs of trouble? Empty shelves, unavailability of many common brands and general feel of resignation. Reminds me of the twilight days of Nakumatt and Uchumi.'
Other customers have also shared their experiences with Tuskys, with some reporting empty shelves and unavailability of common brands. Stephen Arap Chumo commented, 'In Kitale they recently closed a branch which they took from Nakumatt(had ample parking) and used corona as an excuse. But I noted that they didn’t transfer some of the goods to the CBD branch, which had more than enough space to swallow all merchandise from the closed branch.'
