Overview
The supermarket chain owns and operates four supermarkets in Uganda; all located in Kampala, the capital of Uganda, the third-largest economy in the East African Community. Capital Shoppers is the largest locally owned supermarket chain in the country. Founded in 1997, the family-owned store chain had a customer-royalty program that offered 4 percent rebate on purchases, the highest in the industry in Uganda at that time. The rebate program was discontinued in 2021 when the Uganda Revenue Authority introduced the Electronic Fiscal Receipting and Invoicing Solution (EFRIS) system, which does recognize rebates.
