@jaggernaut - Those Game guys used the usual promotion trickery. Kawaida stuff were over priced while electronics and hardware stuff had a good discount.

If you were doing you monthly shopping for the house you were better off staying as far as possible from the supermarket. Even the what was apparently on offer was more expensive than at Nakumatt, and of course the akina Naivas, Tuskys etc.

I passed by on Sunday and noticed two things.

1) I thought I was in Bombay!!! The whole Indian community was there. There must have agreed on their (common) WhatsApp group to meet there!! He he he.

2) I saw people pushing (almost) empty trolleys!!! Apart from electronics and such, people were rarely buying kawaida stuff. They noticed they had just be played. Most of that traffic relocated to Nakumatt downstairs. Both Supermarkets were full of people but the real shopping was being done at Nakumatt.

A tablet that was apparently on offer was still more expensive than what I had bought it for the same week at a Samsung shop!!

Yenyewe the parking lot looks foreign.

That small Uchumi has some faithful crowd especially mature wazees wa Garden Estate and Thome. It survived the large Nakumatt that was pulled for the superhighway. Naivas definitely affected it though Uchumi are fortunate to have lower overheads. Time will tell.

That one near K.U is a sure miss. I see students having a new place to hang out especially ladies...and the sugar daddies may now have a new collection point, not necessarily having to go all the way to Ngong Hostels. I think these people are targetting sugar daddies...because nothing else justifies building the mall there...students get broke at the second week and cant be targeted.

Once complete TRM will look like a ka bedsitter compared to garden city.TRM sales will also nosedive due to its proximity to garden city infact it might be the biggest casualty of all the malls that will be located along the highway
