The Rise and Fall of Tuskys Supermarket: Family Feuds 

European in Kenya for 12 years. When local sellers pulled their “mzungu” prices on me, i started shopping in Nakumatt and later Tuskys Miss both of them. But as usual in Kenya, greed and corruption destroys so many things I truly welcome the coming of GenZs

Being among the pioneer employees of Hipora Business Solutions, who quit in 2011, I learned that family businesses are prone to many challenges that may easily bring them down

This is why im not a huge fan of Family run businesses, Alot of family drama and conflicts are brought to the work place. If you ever build a company dont involve your kids in it. When you die let your stake in the company be cashed out and the money be distributed to your children. And the business should continue running in the hands of other professionals and not your kids.

I'm missing Turskeys supermarkets 😢. I remember buying my first tv in the Nakuru branch in Kenya. It's so sad that Turskeys is no more 😢

Nostalgia. Fist it was Uchumi, then Nakumatt then Tusky's. What a sad story of this giant.

Tuskys a big name, had a good reputation in Kisii especially back to school hype was so nice. Its aesthetics(Green, White and Yellow colours), logo and general supermarket organization was satisfying. I miss PAYING LESS GETTING MORE EVERYDAY.

That was sad and more sad that Tuskys is long gone history

Am glad I have found this channel as a Kenyan 😅❤

I pray that you don't stop publishing more stories,,your star will shine while you entertain and educate us through such stories that makes us not repeat same mistakes either in business or in life❤❤🔥🔥

Tuskys and nakumatt supermarkets,am still in denial,av refused to accept they are no more😢

I was also an employee in Uganda🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬

As a Ugandan, Taskys was my favorite place to do my shopping. It was painful to see it collapse

Myself I remember when I was a boy in Nakuru we used to shop at his shop in Nakuru town we used to know his shop as "kwa Joram" The shop graduated to a small supermarket known as Magic Mini Supermarket this is where I used to see Yusuf Mugweru Kamau for Stephen Mukuha I used to see him at the shop kwa Joram he used to call me 'WERII" when it was changed to Tusker Mattresses at ALJABRY HOUSE it grew countrywide and in early 2004 it changed the name and to its coming down

Loved the presentation, many other Kenyan companies you could do deep dives on. Its a shame nothing great built in Kenya ever survives for long

you have someting great going on here....dont stop bro

I have liked n subscribed, I used to admire this supermarket in kla , that’s where my wealthier cousin used to shop when going back to schl .

Was my favourite supermarket in Mombasa.used to buy unique furnitures.still miss it

I enjoyed turkey in Mukono Uganda. They had ready and good food I could take it after work.

the largest tv I ever saw was being in tuskys "tom mboya" street, Nairobi,I still pass by the now closed building with "tuskys" still written on the door,in fact when seeking directions to my passenger clients,I tell them "tupatane tuskys",a business that no longer exists

Family and business never mixed

The first shopping card,I owned was Tuskys before it collapsed with all my shopping points,but still I had kept it as a souvenir😂

Work hard for your own money... if you rely on inheritance you've already failed at life.

I made sure to shop at Tusky's whenever I was in Kenya. A sad ending to a once large retailer.

I still still don't believe that Tuskys is no more,it made foundation in my life,I gained alot of knowledge working there.😢

I had to subscribe to this channel, bro you really did your research very well, and the narration is incredible

One generation build. The next generation expands. The next generation throws it all away. In this case, the second generation blowed it all.

great work my G... we want more if such content

Other outlets should learn from this 10min clip

great vid

I remember a nasty incident I had at the hands of some Tuskys staff (the one that used to be along Tom Mboya street it is now Eastmatt). They mistreated me in 2011and I vowed never to go back there. After some time,I saw Eastmatt had replaced it!

I miss Tuskys wallahi

Kindly consider excluding background music

I knew the supermarket is dead when i went to their cosmetics side and found empty shelves 😢 i couldn't believe it 🤦🏿‍♀️.

Only the founder knows the pain of achieving something. The inheritors wont know what it takes to keep it up. May Joram Kamau the founder rest in peace

Kenyan legacy indeed ❤❤

I remember the store in rongai we called it duka mpya

We had almost 10 Tuskys branches in Kampala,Uganda

I miss tuskys

Something common about Tuskys and Naivas.they all started in Rongai

Wow i‘m shocked 😮😮😮

I learnt how to make sweet potato bread after their closure.They had alot of creative staff.

shame on those siblings..... i could be way happier to have a tuskys still operating .They were so good!!

You can only imagine the sleepless night that that man used to have while gathering every penny for the future of his kids but unfortunately they misused all of them after the death of their fathers,it couldn't last even for 20 yrs, that's why the scripture says that we do gather for many years but once we die all the harvest will be misused in 1 day

This is a shame....sibling greed....anyway they never struggled to put it up

Where are the siblings now?

Si wangeelewana tu

family should never be allowed to run a business they didn't build

Do one on Uchumi...

Great documentary but kindly reduce the volume of your background music on your future videos

Self-inflicting Economic meltdown by imposing unfair tariffs by the government destroys hard work from humble beginnings.

I bought my first iron here..till todate nanguka nayo😂

Hello broh namba iko where tuongee what app

Where has this been...am from Germany 😒

And the big shoppingmalls in germany exist many many years with a lot success. Hahaha

Sometimes the beneficiaries never understand what the founder went through to give them what they have now destroyed...!! Lesson, don't leave your biz in their hands unless you teach them...

Creativity in business is key. We need to embody originality in business. Copying the Nakumatt model was a bad idea. He was obsessed with everything the Shah’s did.

QUITE A SHAME that black African owned family businesses never last like those in Europe, South America and North America!.. That celebrate 50yr,70yr,60yr,100yr🎂 birthday anniversaries. THAT'S BECAUSE OF GREED as the main culprit.

I was also a staff there

Mukuha contributed to the fall of Tuskys

Diversify in agriculture,hotel,transport ,marine etc

Nakumatt was a mother of tuskys, tuskys was a mother of Naivas,naivas is a mother of Chap chap suprmarkets

Amazing work brother! I love the story telling and editing! You might just be the next Kenyan @magnatesmedia

I hope these giants don't drag their suppliers with them as they go down.

After bringing tuskys down.. Now where are these shareholders? Somewhere trying to do government tenders... They should have divide the branches as per the shares early enough and part ways

Sad

Ni ukola na serikali hakuna kitu ya yanya kusaindia suppliers uchumi 3.6 billion tuskeys 8biilion nakumart saidi ya 20 billion na hawa directors wako free warinunua properties kila mahali na pesa ya suppliers

What a shame! Hawa wakikufa hata watazikana kweli

just to understand,"naivas" was founded by the brother to tuskys " owner?

Ask their spouses !!!! Selling to their own at double digit prices and on top of that alot of dead stocks

What I know ...tuskys will come to rise up again

rip tuskts form kitale

Naivas is on the way tooo

What a shame?

Tusks had nice bread

Siblings... How they all suffered😂😂😂

I have always said the poor pay the taxes
