“We’re committed to expanding our footprint. Wherever we see potential, we’ll move in to offer the signature Naivas experience,” he said. “We have several store openings planned in different parts of Kenya.”

Naivas currently operates 109 branches and employs 12,000 people.

The retailer says part of its strategy is to make shopping more affordable for its customers while strengthening its position as a leading player in Kenya’s retail sector.
