The past two years have been a challenge for one of Kenya’s most iconic entertainment enterprises, the Florida Nightclub franchise. After losing their landmark ‘madhouse’ location to a developer with a different structure in mind, the franchise recently announced that their Moi Avenue establishment, Florida 2000 (F2), which sat strategically between a row of bars and stood next to Kenya Cinema, has closed its doors for good.
“Competition from newer clubs is one of the reasons we are restructuring,” says Jeff Waringa, the entertainment and marketing manager.
