Kenyans can now enjoy great convenience and quality service when shopping thanks to the fast-growing list of best supermarkets in Kenya. A couple of years back, buying simple merchandise such as a packet of maize flour was a real hassle since you had to drive or walk a long distance to the nearest shop.
But today things have improved a great deal with supermarkets emerging everywhere. Question is: Do you know which supermarket suits you best? We have prepared a list of top five best supermarkets in Kenya.
#5 Tuskys Supermarket
This family-owned supermarket has dominated the Kenyan market for more than a decade since it was established in Nakuru as Tusker Mattresses Limited. Eventually, Tuskys has evolved into a multimillion retail outlet with tens of branches across the country and abroad. Despite the recent family feuds, Tuskys remains one of the best supermarkets in Kenya. Apart from giving occasional shopping deals, the supermarket also has a loyalty card that enables customers to amass shopping points which they can later redeem for free shopping.
#4 Nakumatt Supermarket
Since its establishment 29 years ago, Nakumatt Supermarket has grown into one of the leading retail outlets in Kenya. The supermarket has opened branches in virtually all corners of the country and beyond, including Uganda and Tanzania. One thing that makes Nakumatt Supermarket unique is the Nakumatt Global Card, which allows customers to perform various transactions including shopping, redeeming loyalty points and money transfer.
#3 Eastmatt Supermarket
Eastmatt Supermarket is another family-owned retail outlet started several years ago in Mau Narok. It then expanded to Nairobi as Eastleigh Mattresses Limited and later changed its name to Eastmatt Supermarket Limited. It has since opened other branches around the country including Kitengela, Mwea, and Tala.
#2 Naivas Supermarket
Although it is a fairly new entrant, Naivas Supermarket has grown to become one of the best supermarkets in Kenya. Save for sporadic shopping deals and offers, the supermarket is known for its pocket-friendly prices and quality products. The retail outlet has numerous branches across the country including Kisumu, Kisumu, Nakuru, Narok nd Kitui.
#1 Uchumi Supermarket
Uchumi Supermarket was established in 1976 in Nairobi and is the only state-owned supermarket in Kenya. Since then it has expanded to other major cities across the country and even beyond the Kenyan borders. Despite its current financial setbacks, Uchumi remains one of the best supermarkets in Kenya. Currently, the supermarket is offering some amazing shopping deals and discounts in an attempt to win back its longstanding customer base.
