Nilishawaambieni watanzania tunapenda kununua mahitaji yetu kwenye masoko.
Amini nakuambia, malls nyingi zinafungwa huko unakokutaja sababu ikiwa ni kizazi cha sasa kimebadilika, na siyo malls tu, chain nyingi zimefungwa. Moja ya sehemu niliyokuwa napenda sana kununua vitu vya electronics ilikuwa inaitwa Circuit City, hawa jamaa biashara iliwashinda kwasababu ya wimbi la mauzo ya mitandaoni.
Kuna bookstore moja niliyokuwa naitumia kama "hunting ground" (sambamba na Barns&Noble ) iliyokuwa inaitwa Borders hii nayo ilijifia kwasababu walishindwa kukabiliana na wimbi la manunuzi ya mitandaoni. Kwa hiyo siyo malls tuu, kuna maduka makubwa mengi sana yaliyotamba zamani ambayo sasa yamekufa.

Starbucks ni investment kubwa.
Haiwezi funguliwa pahali wenyeji hawana pesa.
Return on Investment lazima iangaliwe. Na sio starbucks pekee.

With or without Starbucks, life goes on. People are still living.
We grow coffee in Tanzania. We can drink our own coffee.
It’s not like without Starbucks there won’t be coffee to drink.
Furthermore, even if Starbucks were to open in Tanzania, I doubt it’ll be a success.
Why? Because, why would anyone pay an arm and a leg for a cup of coffee when they probably can buy a whole can of coffee for the same price or lower and would last for weeks or even months...

The question is so simple. What data did that guy present to prove his claims that Zambia has more malls? This is just a vlogger who is probably trying to market his channel to Zambians. We have seen so many such claims from random people saying things they can't even prove. Hata mimi naweza Fungua channel yangu niseme anything and people (the ignorant ones of course) will believe anything I say without taking time to dig deeper. Kenya has the biggest retail market in sub-Saharan Africa outside South Africa and so many reports have said so as you can see below. Take time and read the links then tell me where Zambia or Lusaka has been mentioned anywhere

It's clear you don't know what you are talking about. The biggest mall in the world is found in Dubai, UAE, one if the most developed countries on the world. China and USA also have some of the most vibrant mall markets in the world, same as Canada, all of which developed countries. It's good to do a little bit of research before posting

That report excluded SA for obvious reasons. SA accounts for 88% of letable mall space in Africa. That's a very high numberEast, North Africa lead in malls investment

Africa is witnessing a surge in the development of shopping malls, with numbers more than doubling over the past eight years.
A report by market intelligence firm Sagaci Research shows that factors like urbanisation, population growth, increased interest from international retailers, changing consumer lifestyles and rising household incomes have boosted the growth of malls on the continent.
Today, Africa boasts 579 malls, up from 225 in 2010, with Egypt having the highest number at 106, followed by Kenya with 66 and Nigeria with 53.
During the 12 months to June 201, a total of 41 malls were opened on the continent, with Lake Basin Mall in Kisumu, Kenya, being the largest among the new entrants.
“While malls were once largely confined to Africa’s largest cities, they are now proliferating in smaller urban centres,” says the sixth edition of the Shopping Malls in Africa report.
It adds that this trend is increasingly evident across the continent as malls strive to become places where consumers pass their leisure time, rather than just shop.

The total gross leasable area (GLA) of malls on the continent has reached eight million square metres, with North Africa accounting for two-fifths.
Three countries, Egypt, Kenya and Nigeria, each have more than 500,000 square metres of leasable area.
Mall of Egypt is ranked as the leading mall in Africa, with another five malls all located in North Africa also attaining a grading of AAA.
In East Africa, only Two Rivers and The Hub Karen, both in Kenya, were ranked among top malls on the continent with grading of AA, joining another 14 malls in Morocco, Egypt, Nigeria, Mauritius and Djibouti.
According to the report, new mall development in Africa is currently concentrated in countries that already have a significant number of malls, particularly Egypt, Nigeria, Kenya, Morocco and Zambia.
There are 35 mall projects under construction or in planning in Egypt followed by 25 in Nigeria and 13 in Kenya.
“North and West Africa have the greatest potential for mall development, as many countries in these regions combine fairly low levels of GLA with rising levels of consumption,” stated the report.
In contrast, very little new development is planned in Southern or Central Africa, with Douala Grand Mall in Cameroon being the only notable exception.
