    • Mustapha U. ★★★★ Things are relatively cheap in this supermarket.
    • Musa G. ★★★★★ Lack of Professionalism Hinders Store Experience My recent experience at the store located beside us left me with mixed feelings. On one hand, the range of products they offer is quite impressive. On the other hand, I couldn't help but notice the lack of professionalism among their staff, which significantly impacted my overall shopping experience. One of the key issues I encountered was the staff's apparent lack of direct knowledge related to their assigned responsibilities. It was evident that they were not properly trained or equipped to handle customer inquiries or provide accurate information. Instead of seeking assistance from professionals in their respective fields, they often engaged in unproductive arguments which left customers confused and frustrated. Furthermore, it was disappointing to see that the store management had not taken steps to address these gaps in expertise. By overlooking the importance of hiring professionals to aid in development, they inadvertently hindered the growth of their store. As a customer, I believe that investing in qualified individuals would not only enhance the shopping experience but also contribute to the overall success of the business. This store does have its merits, such as a wide variety of products and a convenient location. However, the lack of professional attendance is a significant drawback that needs to be addressed. I encourage the management to reevaluate their approach and consider engaging professionals who can provide the necessary expertise to elevate their services. In conclusion, while the store holds promise, the absence of direct knowledge among the staff and their tendency to argue rather than seek professional help proves to be an obstacle to a more enjoyable shopping experience. I hope that the store management takes this feedback constructively and considers implementing changes to improve their level of professionalism in the future.

    • Mohammed T. ★★★★★ Kasuwan Shanu is like any other typical cattle market in Nigeria, where animals such as cows, ram, goats, camel and sheep are sold in their live form and also their meat in raw, grilled and cooked forms. It is not the cleanest place as we see abroad but to an extent, they try to keep it neat. If you have not eaten grilled camel meat before, visit Kasuwan Shanu anytime you are in Maiduguri, it will be worth your while.
