In May 1982, with little more than ambition and a small shop on Laini Moja Street in Kitale, Khetia Family laid the foundation for what would become a Kenyan retail legacy. Starting with a single pickup truck and a focus on wholesale distribution, he served local communities with heart, grit, and integrity.
As trust in the Khetia name grew, so did our presence. From expanding wholesale outlets in the late '80s, to opening our first supermarket in 1994, and then launching the iconic GigaMart in 2005, each step forward reflected our commitment to excellence and innovation.
Today, Khetia Drapers Ltd operates over 18 branches across Kenya, employing thousands and serving countless families. Still 100% family-owned, the Khetia family continues to lead with the same spirit of enterprise, unity, and purpose that started it all.
Our story is a celebration of resilience, reinvention, and responsibility—a journey made possible by the people we serve.
