A new supermarket is set to be launched in Kondele, Kisumu county on Friday next week.
The Sh20 Million supermarket is owned by former employees at Nakumatt.
Lemigo Dala Supermarket will be run by 7 former employees of the Nakumatt Holding Limited which is facing financial woes and has already closed several branches.
Benson Olang who is one of the Directors’ says they’ve had the dream to own a supermarket adding that they finally decided to resign from the Nakumatt chain store and form their own supermarket.
Olang says they resigned from Nakumatt last year in early December adding that they felt they had gained enough experience to set up their own unit.
Olang said on Tuesday that they intend to offer employment and even supply opportunity to locals at the lakeside city.
He noted that they have also absorbed some former employees of Nakumatt adding that they intend to expand and add more outlets.
