Just wondering whether there are not giving an injection to a dead horse. Am not sure Uchumi branches are strategically located (geographically) for current crop of consumers...And for those that are ...there is cheaper/fuller competition right next door. Consumers have spilled out of central areas into peri-urban areas (areas surrounding towns)---there is minimal presence of uchumi there (if any). Neither is Uchumi likely to survive the current margin pressures brought by wholesalers in retail business, online shopping, sprouting of many estate mini-supermarkets. Further its likely to be given shorter credit period by its supplier and yet suffer from longer sale periods. Maybe am just seeing a glass half empty....
