Uchumi Supermarket to add 13 more branches by end year

Uchumi Supermarkets plans to expand its branch network from the current 37 to 50 this year.

The retail chain’s chief executive officer Jonathan Ciano said they are optimistic about growth prospects in 2015 and expect customer spending to go up. He noted that the decline in cost of living expected with the reduction in price of fuel and electricity was likely to increase consumer spending.
