Owner: Dora Mbwambo, 26
Opening hours: 8am – 6pm, Sun – Fri
Business: clothes, accessories
Dora still lives at home and the money from the business is not the main thing of importance for her – it’s her passion for fashion. After completing her education she asked her parents to open a clothes shop for her, which they did. She gets help from the family in running the shop, too. A relative buys the products from Uganda, Congo and China for her, which she then sells on to her customers, mainly women of all ages.
Her passion for the business is obvious when you come to the shop. This is a place where you can get everything matching, from shoes, to dress , to bag. She has now been running the shop for two years. The stock moves quickly and the shop has seen development at a reasonable pace.
