China Square owner Lei Cheng, also known as Charlie, has admitted that indeed his business, domiciled in Kenyatta University's Unicity mall, is indeed booming.

In an interview with Nation, Lei Cheng noted that he set up his shop in Kenya on January 29, 2023, and two weeks later; he sold a jaw-dropping Sh20 million.

The business, which is now the talk of the town,  is now making the two-week amount in two days, marking you on a bad day.

This has been enabled by thousands of Kenyans who throng there for goods and services.

"The business is barely a month old. On a bad day, we sell goods worth Sh10 million," Cheng told Nation.

Cheng revealed that he was inspired to start the business after he came across basic things being sold too expensive at local supermarkets.

He said the idea to start the business was fueled by his desire to avail basic goods to Kenyans at fair prices.

He maintained that he followed all legal processes in setting up the business.

Cheng noted that he has attracted Kenyans because of his market strategy that he feels is being unfairly targeted.

"My business is legal and is centred on healthy completion. We have followed all government directives for opening a business in Kenya and"we are here to break monopolies," he added.
