On July 24, 2019, South African retailer Game Stores made its mark in Kenya by opening its third outlet at Kisumu's Mega City Mall, its first branch outside Nairobi.
The move by Massmart Holdings subsidiary Game Stores follows the launch of its Garden City and Karen Waterfront outlets.
Game will occupy the mall's prime space on the ground floor, while Nakumatt, which was Mega City Mall's anchor tenant, is currently on the 1st floor.
