Regional retailer, Nakumatt, has opened it seventh outlet in Uganda as it seek to increase its footprint in the regional market.
This
move comes after the company in October opened another branch in Katwe,
an area with a mixed segment of consumers in terms of income in the
same country.
A statement from the firm indicates that
the company has invested Sh176.4 billion ($ 2.1Million) in the stall
which is located near the Entebbe International Airport.
Speaking
at the opening ceremony, Nakumatt Uganda country manager Bernard Mutua
said that the opening of the store is also geared towards raising
Entebbe’s growing profile as a regional commercial town.
“At
Nakumatt, we are keen to promote regional integration ideals by
establishing world-class retail stores in all major Uganda towns,” said
Mutua.
