Bata Zim opens doors in Banket

Shoe manufacturer, Bata Zimbabwe added a new store in Banket to bring the company’s total operating stores to 64. The group’s Area Manager, Maxwell Muzambe said the new store located in Banket is in a good location that has potential to increase sales volumes.

“We have officially opened a new branch in Banket and we are positive that it is a good location and certainly optimistic that the units will break- even within the first month. “We’re available in all towns and cities in the country and the opening of our new branch in Banket is necessary and important to our valued customers across the country,” he said.

Bata Zimbabwe has been operational since 1939.

Asked about the reception of the people at the unveiling of the new store in Banket, Muzambe said the “reception was overwhelming and people were very happy and thankful for the new store in their area.

He said the company was targeting new markets such as growth points and small towns across the country, citing that the introduction of new lines at competitive prices and improved quality has resulted in the company capturing some of its lost market share.

Bata has also continued with its refurbishment exercise, which has seen the shoe manufacturer renovating more stores across the country.

“Refurbishment and modernisation of Bata Stores began in 2012 beginning with the face lift of its Leopold Takawira Branch in Harare in line with conforming with international standards best practices Banket is located about 95 km north-west of Harare on the main Harare-Chinhoyi road. FinX
