BOKKU MAKING LIFE BEARABLE FOR US FROM THE TIME IMMEMORIAL. GOD BLESS BOKKU

I think those ones are clustered mostly around Ojo/Iba axis and not widespread just like Prime Mart

Beremx:
Where's Twin Faja in the list? Only Abaranje road Ikotun alone, they have four stores. One at Ijegun, one at Ikotun and others scattered around Alimosho.
Twins Faja has more stores than Jendol

pocohantas:
One day breeze go blow and fowl nyash go open. We would know the true motive of Bokku. You can't tell me any sensible businessman is buying up buildings and renovating them to sell bread and carton of malt.

There's a lot of money in bread,
Infact that's where the money is and not groceries.

Every thread created by this guy must always have a taint of ethnic superiority in it. He will always want to paint a picture in all his threads that his Yoruba tribe is dominating not minding other variables . I have followed his threads and comments on this forum and I have come to the conclusion that: (1) the guy is a tribal bigot. (2) He is a local and a localized man who probably may have not stepped out of his state for the first time. (3) He is not cosmopolitan (4) He is a religious bigot(5) He is not well educated

seborrhic:
The ₦500m I even used is a gross underestimation now that I remember very well the various sections ShopRite has with the various equipment.
The machines in the bread and other confectionery section alone is worth at least 100m.
So each ShopRite megastore alone should be worth at least ₦2b.
This is what one clown is comparing to Boku stores.

By store count.. Is that so hard to comprehend?

koladata:
You know the funny part is that , they are aware , they know lots of people are complaining about it , OfCourse their managers are everywhere on the internet seeing people's review but I think they have an agender and it something related to health.

the complaints are not matching the numbers

bokku is a discount store and i am not sure everyone understands that

its purpose is to sell at the lowest possible denominator by cutting out any frills

i was there and someone was complaining about no cold drinks. their model is to reduce operating cost to the barest minimum, so freezer for perishable goods only. frankly i was surprised they had acs. if they did their ventilation right and had ceiling fans they would be able to do away with acs and get a smaller generator

anyway, back to the subject. people wait for the bread. people buy the bread in bulk to resell. in ajegunle - i see people selling the bread RIGHT OUTSIDE bokku mart.

the people complaining on twitter are not their target market. the bread is doing numbers, especially when bread is 1700 to 2000 in other supermarkets

The ones you know, not in Nigeria. Market square has more outlet than some you mentioned.

Ishilove:
I think Ikotun and Abaranje is their powerhouse because I had no idea Twins Faja is a retail store. I thought it is a bakery that focuses on bread and pastries.

yes the owner started at Ikotun market selling baby wears before she expanded and diversified her business. Their bread is one of the best at Ikotun. Their bread is what I eat o! No one else

sylva1:

Prime Mart too is expanding. Dem dey try sha

Nazgul:
Roban only operates in the South East. I've never seen any of their stores outside the southeast.

But you see that Bokku eh, the rate at which they open stores is scary. I was telling someone that it might be owned by a politician cos even in my area, they've bought all the old buildings and transformed them into their supermarket.

The cost of such investments isn't a joke. You've got to have billions on ground to be able to keep up with the pace.

Robans Stores are also in South South States

Truly a poorlyresearched ranking.By number of locations, Everyday should be on the list.The authors are obviously residentin Lagos

Sapiosexuality:
Obviously, the list is fake if I can see 8 stores in the list. Everyday alone has 4-5 stores I know in Owerri alone. I've seen two and been to 1 in PH and I believe they'd sure have close to double the number of stores in Owerri.

Statisennseless and their useless stats strike again.

Not true. Jendol has more

Tolupage:
Why not just read to understand, the OP is right on this one.

The rating is based on number of outlet not the worth of outlet or store.

Tomorrow he can come up with another data depicting the stores by their networth or value. Then ShopRite will definitely top that chart.

Peace and love✌🏽

Tackle Nairametric because they don't know what they are rating.
No rating is done that way.
You rate things that are in similar category.
It's either they should have removed Shoprite or used size of the stores.
So if all the aboki kiosks scattered in every street in Nigeria were to be owned by 1 person,you would now rate it higher?

This list is bollocks, foodco has like 10 stores in ibadan alone...if not more.

I still dey reason am. The chestbeaters always claim brown roof fifu are poor. See this list. Out of ten, five, others share the remaining.

Of the top ten black billionaires in the world. Ogunlesi Adebayo, Mike Adenuga, Awotona, Otedola make the list. Dangote and Rabiu (BUA) of women, Mrs. Alakija and others.

LegendHero:
List of each store and their owners:

Senseless rating
One product in jendol super stores will buy all the bread in all the bokku stores...

Oga stop talking rubbish
Is it those glorified kiosks scattered everywhere you referring to as big supermarkets? You better rest...

That Bokku is everywhere, I always wonder where the owner or owners got funds from. In some 4-5 kilometer roads, you can have as many as 3 on same road. This was kinda how Addide was back in the 2000s, but Bokku is spreading at a faster rate than how Addide did back then.

That's not the point oga...
That one or two persons made money from government favoritism is no yardstick to measure a tribe of about 30 to 50 million.
How many Yorubas can you say a re billionaires compared to the IGBOS?
Anambra state alone has more billionaires than all states combined... This is the yard stick

You are very right because if not how are they able to open new branches. But it could have made more sense if they have a version of the bread for adults , only younger people can eat this breads it is just way tooo sugary for me

seborrhic:
So they are comparing Boku with its mainly kiosk like bread stores with Shoprite massive structures?
So a store with goods value of 20m is equivalent to one with goods and structure value of at least ₦500m?
Funny rating.

chatinent:
Comparing Bokku to ShopRite and Market Square is an insult.

Nigeria’s Top 10 Supermarket Chains by Store Count
English Language isn't that hard na

lol "they copied everything but forget to copy germany's minimum wage".... I'm sure they copied the sugary bread thing too becasue that doesn't look like a nigerian style of bread

Acidosis:
You may be right sha. Bokku reeks of a copycat model, likely trying to mimic German hard-discount grocery chains like Aldi and Lidl. Unfortunately, they don’t have the budget to operate in Nigeria at that level. You'll see the copy-cat thing in how they were first to start this idea of charging customers for plastic bags way before the Lagos State government forced others to join just because, in the country they copied their model from, sustainability is a big deal.

Again, they made their staff stand all day during the first months or even years after they started operating. The copycat vibe was just too strong. Good thing they’ve stopped that nonsense now. I mean, why would anyone force cashiers to stand all day for a 60k naira salary because workers in developed countries do such? They copied everything but forgot to copy Germany’s minimum wage.

what a Poor research.

just a quick google search alone will provide stores that what the researcher mentioned.


don't down grade people sweat.

Globad:
You're missing something

Pay attention

Nobody is missing anything

It was the same OP who claimed that the size of the stores was a determining factor when his attention was called to other stores with higher counts but not on the list

Unfortunately for his ignorance, even Bokku that's no 1 on the list is known for mini stores

GEEBITE:
On an endangered B1/B2 visa in Trump's time. ATL is not even that cold. Lol

Oh he's even in the US

Dronedude:
Walahi this Bokku Mart na one state they get all these 124 stores because I have never heard or seen one before.

Lol. Yeah. Lagos is their main focus. They're like Redeem church in lagos...every corner you go, you must see that their blue and yellow color.

Oh my bokku. I so much love that store.

Number of stores and not size. Read well. Also look at the disclaimer below in the picture attached. Not all stores are captured here

WhizdomXX:
What is Bokku?

It's the name of a place, animal, person or thing.

haybhi1:
Lol mgbeke feeling funky... wahala... heaven knows I can hardly live in that Abuja... no beach, banditry lol

Who born you to con do banditry for Lagos? Hangover, Afenuga, Otedola, and the likes turn Lagos to abode, you dey here dey rant. Sorry o, Abuja first son. Lol

I am safer moving around in Abuja even by 12 am without the fear of my skull being mined than in Lagos where agbero boys from Ewedu republic can unalive you any moment.

Smelly Lagos

haybhi1:
Twins Faja is either super standard or is in the league of standards you find Jendol. I kid you not. Ikotun to Iyanapaja alone, I know two super standard stores of Twins Faja. Meanwhile, Bokku outlets are usually less in size to stores like Twins Faja's. You are more like to find what you're looking for in a bigger sized Twins Faja store than you would in Bokku. However, you're likely to find Bokku closer to you than you would Twins Faja.

Pros and cons sha

True. What people mostly go to Bokku for is their bread. And also small house hold items that are cheaper in Bokku than any other shops. Stuff like milk and milo, soap, semo, malt, sodas, can beer, air freshener, indomie, etc.
