On September 10, 2019, Shoprite, a leading South African retailer, marked its expansion in Kenya with the opening of its third outlet at City Mall in Nyali, Mombasa.
The outlet, which occupies a space previously held by Nakumatt supermarket, was evicted in March 2018 due to a Kshs 27.8 million debt in rent arrears.
Shoprite's new outlet in Nyali offers a variety of services, including a Meat Market, Hot & Cold Foods Deli, Fish Shop, Bakery, and Fresh Fruit & Vegetables.
The retailer has two other outlets in Nairobi, one at The Westgate Mall, opened in December 2018, and another at Garden City, opened in March 2019.
Shoprite, which operates 2,689 outlets across 15 countries in Africa and the Indian Ocean Islands, has a fourth outlet scheduled for later in the year at The Karen Waterfront, Nairobi.
