📋 About Chandarana Foodplus

Chandarana Foodplus is an independent, Kenyan-owned supermarket chain that entered the supermarket business in 1959 with a small grocery shop at the busy corner of Highridge Shopping Centre at the junction of Masari Road and 3rd Avenue in Parklands, Nairobi. The business was established by the late entrepreneur Shantilal Mulji Thakkar and has since grown from a single grocery store with twelve employees to one of Kenya’s most trusted premium retail chains with 29 branches and over 1,700 employees.

Chandarana Foodplus is widely known as Kenya’s premier niche supermarket, particularly celebrated for its extensive selection of imported cheeses, fine wines and spirits from around the world, fresh in-house bakery, delicatessen counter, premium fresh produce, and specialty food items that are unmatched by other Kenyan supermarkets. The chain operates in Nairobi, Kisumu, Eldoret, Nakuru, Naivasha, Nanyuki, Nyali, Changamwe, and Diani, with both physical stores and an online shopping platform at foodplus.co.ke.

“Chandarana is my go-to for quality groceries. The cheese counter at Village Market is outstanding — you won’t find that selection anywhere else in Kenya. Their in-house bread is also freshly baked and delicious every time.”

“I have been shopping at Chandarana since the Highridge days. The quality is always consistent and they carry imported products you cannot find elsewhere. Slightly pricier than mainstream supermarkets but completely worth it.”
