You seem to have something going on for toys. You are regularly buying them from various supermarkets. What do you do with the toys? Ama you eat them with the snacks? Don't get upset, please. Am just asking because, if you do not know, ask and you shall be told.


The Bible says that, “My people suffer in poverty and are destroyed because of lack of knowledge"



Zechariah 11:9 Then I said, "I will not pasture you. What is to die, let it die, and what is to be annihilated, let it be annihilated; and let those who are left eat one another's flesh."




"One man gives freely, yet gains even more; another withholds unduly, but comes to poverty. A generous man will prosper; he who refreshes others will himself be refreshed." Rev Canon Karanja.

Perhaps people should write directly to the CEO: jciano@uchumi.com
Nothing is real unless it can be named; nothing has value unless it can be sold; money is worthless unless you spend it.

On a positive note, happy that they've re-introduced the brown paper bags that give me nostagia of shopping in early 90's. Better than jualas.

True, I do shop a lot for toys. They are for my kids. I have a whole garage of Vehicle toys for my son. Infact, I even go to Gikomba and Donholm purposely for the toys. The supermarket ones break in days but Gikomba ones last very long. Donholm’s also last long.

I have a thing with Uchumi....I always find myself shopping there with all the dusty stuff, disorganized stuff, veges all over the floor, milky milk parkets, scrambling to get mandazis at Agakhan walk, etc.
I think it’s the polite service offered by the “rare” clue less staff.

I hate going to Uchumi...

Poor lighting...
No air conditioner and inside too hot.
I want to be a millionaire.
