Pick n Pay Opens Outlet In Kitwe
PICK n PAY Zambia has opened its outlet in Kitwe with the Government commending the chain store for investing over K132 billion into the country.
In a speech read for him by Copperbelt Deputy permanent secretary Stephen Lindundu, Copperbelt Minister Mwenya Musenge commended the chain store for its massive investment of over K132 billion.
Mr Musenge said the chain store had worked hard to develop strong community relations through its corporate social responsibility.
“Pick n pay committed to achieving certain targets in Zambia including a total investment of K132billion in five years and it further committed itself to creating 1000 jobs in the country,” he said
Pick n Pay general manager Andy Roberts said the chain store signed an Investment Promotion and Protection Agreement with the Zambian government last February.
Mr Roberts said in the agreement, Pick n Pay pledged a total investment of K132 billion and was hopeful that by March next year the amount would be exceeded.
He said the chain store also committed itself to creating 1000 jobs within five years and that the target would be exceeded after opening the Luanshya and Ndola stores.
“The opening of this new store in Kitwe is therefore not only an act of commercial expansion but an expression of confidence in the economic future of the Copperbelt Province and Zambia at large,” he said.
And Kitwe Mayor Chileshe Bweupe commended Copperhill for changing the face of the city by constructing the chain store.

they should remove the humps on the stretch from the railway crossing to the Buchi traffic lights. It is causing unnecessary traffic jam and could also cause heavy trucks to roll back!
