<p><a href="https://www.pulse.ug/business/domestic/china-town-store-uganda/1xjrnr9">China Town Uganda</a>, located in Lugogo, was abruptly shut down on Monday, September 2, following a reported terrorist threat. The inability to manage large crowds added to the concerns, and Ugandan police, alongside military personnel, descended on the area during the evening rush hour.</p>

<p>Despite the closure, eager shoppers had already captured photos of products and prices, showcasing just how affordable the goods were compared to other local retail shops.</p>

<p>Upon reopening, a variety of products – many of them Ugandan-made – were back on the shelves. This comes as part of a government policy requiring 40% of shelf space to be dedicated to locally manufactured goods, an initiative aimed at boosting the domestic economy. While many shoppers have embraced this, local retailers are less enthusiastic. </p>

<p>Some argue that the hypermarket, backed by foreign investment, is threatening their livelihood. They claim that China Town Lugogo’s pricing model, enabled by foreign-owned factories, undercuts local businesses, offering goods at much lower prices, while also benefiting from tax incentives.</p>
