In Summary
Retail chain Naivas Supermarket is set to increase its workforce by 450 employees who will be deployed in four of its new branches expected to be operational by December.
The family-owned enterprise has 4,800 staff. The new outlets will be located in Nyeri, Githurai 45, Bamburi in Mombasa and Kisumu.
Mr Willy Kimani, the Naivas business development and marketing manager, said in an interview that the retailer is keen on increasing its footprint nationally.
"We want to reach as many people as possible and enable more growth of our outlets both in areas we have operations including new frontiers. For now, we are mainly keen on expanding our local market penetration," said Mr Kimani.
Naivas is ranked Kenya's third-biggest retail chain, but unlike its rivals Nakumatt, Uchumi and Tuskys it has not ventured into neighbouring countries.
Mr Kimani, however, said expansion into the region cannot be ruled out but it's not a priority for now.
