The other remaining branch is Tuskys Athi River where the retailer has its headquarters.

Tuskys, previously biggest retailers in Kenya are currently suffering after commencing raising billions of shillings from debt and equity investors.

The operations in the two remaining branches have remained slow with countable customers and few counters in operations.

The retailer’s woes started in February 2020, after the company announced a restructuring programme that saw it sack several employees citing a difficult operating environment and mediocre performance.
