Published on September 4, 2021, Quickmart Supermarket has made significant strides in the Kenyan retail industry since its merger with Tumaini Supermarkets in August 2020.
The supermarket chain now boasts 45 branches across 11 counties, employing a workforce of over 4,000 staff members who serve an average of three million customers.
Quickmart has taken advantage of the exit of other retailers such as Nakumatt, Choppies, and Tuskys, accelerating its growth into a tier-one supermarket in Kenya.
As Quickmart celebrates its customers, it also recognizes its staff, suppliers, and the thousands of farmers across the country whose products find their way to its shelves.
Quickmart's growth guarantees access to the market for over 24,000 farmers who enjoy a regular income by supplying to the Quickmart stores countrywide.
The supermarket has invested heavily in structuring its stores to adhere to the Ministry of Health Covid-19 protocols to keep staff and shoppers safe.
Quickmart has also supported numerous projects as part of its corporate social responsibility pillar, including the staff nutrition programme in partnership with GAIN and the sponsorship of CAR 50 in the recently concluded leg of the WRC Safari Rally.
