The problem
- Many businesses rely on social media and WhatsApp alone.
- Orders and customer enquiries are scattered across channels.
- Inventory and stock records are often managed manually.
- Businesses need a more consistent customer experience online.
The solution
- Each business gets a public marketing website that is easy to find and share.
- Listings can be managed in a single place for products and services.
- Stock, sales, and order flow can be tracked more reliably.
- Businesses can present a more professional and easier-to-buy offer.
We market and advertise businesses
KobStore creates and runs sponsored placements for participating businesses across our platforms and, where available, partner platforms. This lets us put their products and services in front of more potential customers. Paid plans and promotion options determine which placements are available.
KobStore was built for the Kenyan market
The platform was designed around the realities of local commerce: fragmented sales channels, customer conversations happening over WhatsApp, and businesses needing simpler tools to operate and grow.
KobStore gives sellers a more structured way to present their products, manage transactions, and connect with buyers without needing a large technical setup.
The platform started in this one person mini-office in the house before it scaled to its current size. What a journey it has been! and all glory goes back to Jesus Christ❤!
Founder - Thomas Mwanzia
I founded KobStore to help Kenyan businesses operate with less friction and more visibility.
The focus is practical growth: clearer buyer discovery, stronger online presentation, and tools that help a seller manage the day-to-day business more effectively.
