South Africa’s luxury fashion brand Woolworths is set to open its own outlets in Kenya after buying out Deacons Kenya’s stake in a joint venture the two formed in 2012.

Deacons was initially the local exclusive franchise holder of the Woolworths brand of clothes but the South African firm in 2012 decided to distribute its merchandise through a joint venture called Woolworth’s Kenya Proprietary Limited.
