Text Book Centre

Text Book Centre is an educational and office supplies conglomerate. The firm’s core activity is to supply of education, general books, and educational material, including stationery supplies to professionals, schools, colleges, universities, international organizations, and non-government and government organizations countrywide and to buyers in Uganda, Sudan, Somalia, Malawi, Zanzibar, and Tanzania. It’s a bookstore that I have been going to since my University days till now and adulting is catching up! Founded many years ago TBC has tremendously grown to become the leading bookstore in Kenya. My favorite brunch is at the junction mall, Well, I had the pleasure of attending the launch many years ago and let me tell you, one word I can use to describe my experience is STUNNED! I had such a grand time there, I had to come back the next day just because I needed to experience that feeling all over again. Another one of my favorite TBC brunches is located along Kenyatta Avenue on the ground floor of 680 Hotel, the prime central location makes it so convenient and accessible it’s hard to miss; and when you look through the window as you walk by you can’t help but just walk in. From time to time they have offers and deals that keep me glued to their social media platforms, from fictional books as low as Ksh. 600, to kids’ books for as little as KSH. 100. Not to mention, TBC pricing is always fair and affordable so you know why I take advantage! The TBC store is stunning. Compact, brightly lit, well stocked, and arranged shelves for easy access. And if you can’t find what you’re looking for, the lovely staff are there on the ground to help at any point!

The branch that I often visit is the one at Garden City Mall especially when looking for books since I’m a bookworm as well as when shopping for my little brother who is still in school. The place is smaller in comparison to their other branches. This is a great place to shop for stationery, school, home and office supplies, computers and a few other electronics. The advantage of this place is that their is ample parking at the mall as well as security making it a very secure location to shop. Service delivery is fast except during school opening period when there is always a queue. Their staff are also friendly. In addition, they regularly update their catalog with latest editions of books. They also provide delivery services. Their prices are slightly higher compared to other book stores

I have always been a lover of books and more often that not always have my nose in a book or two so the opening of the Text Book Centre Flagship Store was the greatest news for a die hard book lover like me. This store is located in Sarit Centre is is relatively bigger than the other stores. The great thing about Text Book Centre is that there is something for everyone, you definitely can’t walk in and lack a book that suits your preferences. Finding books in here is quite easy because the sections are well labelled this easening the process of finding your way around. The brown and white theme coloured building has numerous sections including the kids section, spiritual section, fiction section, motivation, general books section, higher education section among many more thus no surprise at the vast collection of books inside this store. Besides books Text Book Centre also sells paint and art materials at the paint section ( the Sarit centre paint section is always soo well stocked). Their Sarit Centre outlet even has comfortable benches and seats where you can hold book club meetings absolutely free! Having a nice quiet read here with a marvellous view of the mall is such a calming and much needed experience. The centre here also has a supervised kids chill zone section where you can leave your kid to read as you go about your errands in the mall without stressing about their safety. I visit this branch every two months to add onto my novel collection for over an year now and have not even come a bit close to finishing the books on their fiction section. You can also get to do your kid’s back to school shopping here since besides books, Text Book Centre sells stationary and office supplies. A visit here will make you want reignite that long lost abandoned reading culture.
