Nakuru is considered the birthplace of supermarkets in Kenya. Naivas Supermarket as well as the collapsed Nakumatt and the struggling Tuskys all started in Nakuru before setting up branches in other parts of the country.
Gilani’s Supermarket, the iconic retail store, also started in Nakuru where it has been in operation for the last 47 years. The supermarket stands tall even as some major stores shut down.
