As is the norm, when talking about high-end grocery stores, much has to be expounded on but generally, customers often assess the standards of the products and the quality of the services. With rural-urban migration still a factor causing many to move into the city, food demand in urban centers is very high.
Grocery shopping in the city can be quite hectic. This is why getting fresh healthy groceries consisting of the best fruits, vegetables and smoothies is important. Considering how there is barely a greenhouse or farm located in urban towns, such as Nairobi, transport has to be catered for, to ensure that the product reaches the grocery shops in a good state.
In this article, I have compiled a list of the best green grocery stores that Nairobi folks love for their exceptional services and ever-fresh farm produce.
