Supermarkets where to find these discounts include all Capital Shoppers (Ntinda,Nakasero and Nakawa), Cynibel Smkts (Lweza and Kiwatule),Quality Smkts (Ntinda,Naalya,Martin R’d and Lweza) and ShopRite smkts”,said Treza. Other supermarkets include Jazz smkt Bugolobi, Embassy Nsambya, Millenium Kisementi, Freedom City and all Mega Standard supermarkets.
The multi Billions worth company recently opened up an outlet at their factory in a bid to meet the ever increasing customer demands.
In an exclusive interview with this reporter at their head office in Ntinda Industrial area, a Kampala suburb the company’s new General Manager Sales & Marketing Mr.Ritesh Rajnikant said this was done to ease customers who endure jam in town running to Kikubo or distributors and queue up for their favorite various products. “If you’ve been to Kikubo jam or you’ve driven to your nearest distributor and failed to get your full order because the distributor delayed to re-stock his store or he told you the truck was on the way from the factory then you know what it means going to the source”, Said Mr.Ritesh
Apart from cutting the hassle one goes through trekking to Kikubo for the same, customers are to save more money from the discounted prices accustomed with avoiding ‘middle men’. Secondly, the prices will be more fairer because the company has cut off the cost of transport it would incur taking the same to kikubo or to Distributors, since this cost is now being met by the customer. Just imagine a trader in Ntinda has been going to Kikubo to buy what they left in their neighborhood!” added Mr.Ritesh.
Other than their trade mark 150ml,250ml and 1Ltr Splash, Britania also produces Top-Up sauces, Sun-Sip,Yo-jus and variety Biscuits among others.
