Supermarkets are a shopper’s dream. They carry many items under one roof, allowing customers to buy everything they need at a go. It is no wonder that they are a key amenity in every neighbourhood, therefore playing an important role in the real estate industry. Supermarkets in Kenya have slowly grown to include other key shops like bakeries, butcheries, delis, and liquor stores. Most major supermarkets now have all of these stores, as well as every household good imaginable, from furniture to soft furnishings. You will also often find clothes, shoes, and even beauty products. For supermarkets in Kitisuru and its environs, here are some options you could check out.

If you need a 24-hour supermarket, you will need to look at Westlands, Thika Road, or the Central Business District. Otherwise, the stores listed above carry a wide array of essential goods. They also house other important outlets like delis and even pharmacies.
