You will notice a great improvement on Bata Nairobi Depot now, if you compare it with what it was before. It has been renovated and re-designed to a clean simple design more like that of a retail shop.

The depot was officially re-opened on the afternoon of 1st April 2011 in a ceremony graced by the MD Mr Nasir Rafique. Several wholesale dealers/stockists were also invited to the event.
