This brings to five the number of branches the company has closed indefinitely in a span of one month.

The retail chain early this month said in a notice that it would close its branch at the Westgate Mall beginning October 8, without an indication as to whether the outlet would re-open. 

Others that have suffered the same fate in the recent past are the Mlimani City branch in Dar es Salaam and the Junction Mall.

A ruling is expected to be delivered on Wednesday.
