Imagine walking into Naivas, Carrefour, Quickmart or Khetias in Nairobi, or visiting any other major urban shop and suddenly seeing a “flash deal” you knew about before you arrived. DealsRadar was born from that idea, catching trending offers across Kenya’s top retail outlets before they slip away.

Here’s why this project matters, how it came to be, what challenges we’ve faced, and the opportunities it unlocks, whether you’re a shopper, a business, or a tech-minded soul looking to see what innovation in retail looks like.
