Ananas Mall is steadily reinforcing its position as one of Thika’s top shopping and lifestyle centres, thanks to its expanding range of services and growing customer base. Situated along Garissa Road in the bustling Makongeni area, the mall has become a key commercial hub for residents of Thika and its neighbouring towns. Every week, tens of thousands of shoppers visit the facility to access retail stores, restaurants, banking services, and entertainment amenities.
The shopping complex has also entered a new phase of growth after coming under the retail management of Knight Frank Kenya. The partnership is expected to strengthen the mall’s operations, attract new tenants, and improve the overall shopping experience for customers.
Covering approximately 90,000 square feet, Ananas Mall is home to more than 50 businesses. Major tenants include a large supermarket, a pharmacy, eateries, cafés, and several service providers that cater to the needs of families and professionals alike.
In recent years, the mall has expanded beyond traditional shopping by introducing recreational and ‘community focused’ facilities. Sports amenities, including a modern turf arena, have added a new dimension to the complex, making it a destination not only for shopping but also for leisure and social activities.
The development was established through an investment of about Sh500 million by local entrepreneurs who envisioned bringing modern retail experiences closer to the people of Thika. Their investment has played a significant role in transforming the town’s commercial landscape and creating employment opportunities for hundreds of residents.
Today, Ananas Mall stands as more than just a shopping centre. It has evolved into an important community landmark that supports local businesses, offers convenience to residents, and contributes to the continued economic growth of Thika.
With new businesses and amenities continuing to join the complex, the mall appears set to remain one of the region’s most influential retail and lifestyle destinations for years to come.
