Kasumba Square Mall is the place to visit and shop while in Kampala, the mall is located on the edges of Kampala going west at the intersection of Busega Round about and Northern Bypass Highway.
Kasumba Square has a unique setting of a true African Mall with a good location surrounded by river, green and away from the congestion of the city. The mall has a variety of stores that sell goods and services, has a food court, bar, restaurant and guest house with affordable rates.
The nightlife in Kasumba Square is excellent, as there is music and beer, and wines and spirits are sold at prices that are affordable compared to the rest of the city. The mall has attracted other businesses in its vicinity, such as the ice plant and market stalls, in exchange for bringing development to the nearby community.
Kasumba Square Mall was started and founded by Mr. Eriabu Kasumba, who is one of the first African businessmen to conduct business on the main street Kampala Road in the early 1960s, while the business was predominantly Asian and European owned. Mr. Eriabu started from a humble background by opening a grocery store in the Nateete Mall with his brother, the late Christopher Lwanga, the business was very successful and he decided to have another store downtown.
They got a place in the old tax park and called the company Kabale Busega Stores Ltd, while doing business there, the government selected him on merit by assigning him a very large department store on the main road in Kampala to integrate. He ran the business very well and other Africans followed suit to do business in the commercial district of Kampala. After 25 years, he started building a shopping center from a swampy place to a now magnificent place. Mr. Kasumba, with the help of his diaspora family, has something to count on.
