Here’s why everyone’s talking about ‘China Square’

“It’s like having Dubois, Kamkunji and Eastleigh stalls all under one roof!”-my colleague describing the new store that has shoppers in Nairobi raving. China Square is the anchor tenant at Unicity Mall along Thika road that’s become a viral sensation. It’s stocked with clothing items, stationery, appliances, toys, decor and tools.

Some have even described it as the brick-and-mortar Alibaba store in Nairobi.

Twitter and Tik-Tok are awash with testimonial videos of shoppers getting their retail therapy at China Square.

From the videos, the queues are crazy so go prepared to navigate the crowds if you’re planning on shopping.
