Thika Town is a hub of great employment opportunities but many do not seem to identify these opportunities.
As a result, many Thika-born residents will move to the neighbouring urban areas like Kiambu, Ruiru, Nairobi to name but a few in an effort to look for greener pastures.
However, this is nothing but a case of leaving good-scented flowers right at the doorstep to go and look for the same far away in the jungle.
Enough of the analogies! Let's look at some of the most viable business opportunities you can find around Thika town and its outskirts.
1. Soup and boiled animal heads
This is one of the most viable business ventures in Thika especially around the estates that anyone with a little capital say Sh5,000 can venture into.
There's a ready market for the soup and chopped animal heads from bodaboda riders, estate residents, passers-by among others. Also, the slaughterhouse where you pick your 'wares' daily and at a cheap price is just within the town.
2. Carwash business
Forget anything negative you may have heard earlier about this business. Fear of the unknown and that which is instilled to us by those who were before us but failed is what keeps many from trying.
Take it or leave it, carwash business anywhere in Thika with good management can bring you unmeasured fortunes.
3. Pork business
Today, Thika is more synonymous with pork than it used to be with pineapples. Everywhere you walk around the town you are likely to find a pork joint which simply means the pork business is booming.
However, opt for a different strategy like selling pork 'mutura'. This business is gaining traction by day and those already in it are making a killing from it.
