NAIROBI, Kenya, Mar 21 – Retail giant Shoprite has opened its second supermarket in Kenya at the Garden City Mall in Nairobi.

Shoprite, which is Africa’s largest retailer with 2,700 stores in 15 countries, is looking to open two more supermarkets in Nairobi and Mombasa.
It is now looking to establish a firm presence in Kenya, a market with 33 percent formal retail penetration making it the continent’s second-biggest retail centre after South Africa, according to a Nielsen study.
“Shoprite is committed to supporting Kenyan enterprises and to this end 100 percent of the supermarket chain’s extensive fresh produce selection is sourced locally,” said Waweru.
