Sarit had the advantage of better location especially for the walk-ins who work within Westlands, plus their strategy changed to target the lower to mid middle-class, a strategy that has worked wonders; with the likes of KCB Branch, Uchumi, Bata, TBC, fairly priced food court, KPLC etc...

And you answered yourself. Strategy. Junction and Prestige still exist "There are only two emotions in the market, hope & fear.

The Greek have a saying that translated says "ngombe hazimaliziani nyasi" which means that all malls with get customers. Customers will always have a reason to go to Mall X irrespective of what other customers say.

Rundans and their new money from tenders...someone should do a desertion on what begets the other....'An exposition of symbiotic relationship between Runda and corruption'. The foul smell you get in Runda comes from the scandal that is the land where Runda sit, lifestyle of sausages and homes where only mastiffs live.

Another fellow in Kiambu named his school 'Kings Mead Academy', oblivious to the connotations...always makes me smile while I drive past the sign.

Aren't we the same people who rejected Inorero because the local name sounded shady?

You are not the target group.They are targeting the experts who live in Kenya and the rich kenyans.So they must give names that they can identify with. Middle class wakutane Kamindi,Maguna Andu na Mathai.And drinks can be got from Kamakis. ION when I was young we had a family friend whose matatu was named "Kùhoha tì kùùma".Todate it still tickles me. Love is beautiful and so are those who share it.With Love, Marriage is an amazing event in ones life time, the foundation of joy, happiness and success.

I will always shop at the Mama Mboga and mama Duka on my way home. They take loads of risks for low returns. They are the ones running this economy and not those big malls
