According to the group, the closures were also necessitated by Nakumatt Supermarkets’ decision to renovate some of its outlets.

“This move is motivated by the need to consolidate certain business operations as the central bakery in Nairobi and Nakumatt’s intention to renovate the outlets,” the company said in a statement.

The statement further stated that it will continue to operate in-store bakeries at Nakumatt’s Mega, Galleria, Junction, Thika Road Mall and Village Market branches in Nairobi and Cinemax in Mombasa.

The bakery unit had 300 employees prior to July 1, 2015 when the listed miller acquired a 52 per cent stake in the company.
