Uchumi Supermarket Plc

About the Company

Uchumi was once Kenya's leading supermarket chain, listed since 1992. After years of losses, mismanagement, and branch closures, the company shrank to a shadow of itself. In 2025, however, two events catalysed a dramatic share price rally: news of a deal to clear debts, and the fact that rental income from tenants (including China Square) drove the company to a profit for the first time in 11 years.
