Chips mwitu as commonly known by many is a small business by many people but not for Kingsley Mogeni.
Mr Mogeni owns a kibanda beside campus road in Kisii where he sells chips, samosa, smokies and soda.
Being in this business for four years now, he is now able to pocket Sh70,000 every month.
Mr Mogeni started his business in 2014 with a start capital of Sh3,000 only. With the cash, he purchased firewood and frying pan which formed the start of his hustle.
He has now grown where he uses modern equipment in his job premise including electricity to prepare his foods.
"I open my business at 11am because that's when people feel the urge for snacks and i close late in the evening, maybe around 10pm depending on the customers' flow," said Mogeni.
According to Mr Mogeni, he earns a profit of Sh30 per plate of chips which he sells at Sh50 and Sh15 for smokies. This has been the major foods consumed by his customers.
"In a good day, I server more than 50 customers a day making a profit of Sh3,000 and above," he said.
Mogeni is able to clear all his day to day bills; rent, food, upkeep including clearing his university fee.
His greatest challenge is during the university holidays whereby the students, who from the largest part of his sales, are not within.
He advised the youth to think of good service rather than quick money and uniqueness in whatever business.
"Having a degree does not mean you must sit in an office. The youths should wake up and realise how to hustle," he concludes.
