<p>Rodney Jordan Kinyera, a partner at Adalci Advocates, shared a picture of the store on X, sparking a humorous conversation as Ugandans speculated about the products they expect to find there.</p>

<p>An X user, @mike_muhima, commented on Kinyera's post:<em> "I sympathise with Kampala traders, but that 250 bob Hisense Smart TV + PS5 combo deal will be too good to ignore. 😂😂😂"</em></p>

<p>Another user remarked: <em>"These are the things I love 😂😂👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Portable fan, speaker, juicer, makeup storage, toothbrush, and fork all in one for 5k 💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾"</em></p>

<p>Someone else added: <em>"Percolator with a power bank at 8k."</em></p>

<p>China Town stores have a presence in different countries but are often met with resistance from local traders due to their ability to undercut prices.</p>

<p>The<a href="https://www.pulse.ug/business/game-store-announces-its-departure-from-the-ugandan-market/ywmm1xb"> Game Store, which previously occupied the warehouse now being used by China Town, announced its departure</a> from Kampala in 2022. It had been the anchor of Lugogo Mall, which was the premier shopping destination for Kampala’s A-class. Opening its doors in 2004 with a reported investment of US$11 million, the store was seen as a symbol of international confidence in the Ugandan economy.</p>
