Yas Tanzania has expanded its operations by opening a new shop in Kahama, a rapidly growing municipality in the country. The new outlet aims to bring mobile, internet, and financial services closer to residents and businesses, providing them with face-to-face support for various services. This move is expected to benefit traders and other businesses that rely heavily on mobile and digital services, reducing the need for them to travel for assistance.

The opening of the new shop was attended by Kahama Municipal Mayor Mataluma Kaniki, who expressed his appreciation for the investment. He noted that the investment comes at a time when the municipality is experiencing growth in mining, agriculture, and trade. Kaniki believes that such investments can have a positive impact on the local economy through job creation and increased business activity.

According to Yas Tanzania Director of Customer Experience and Operations Mwangaza Matotola, the new shop is part of the company's efforts to make its services and customer support more accessible to customers in Kahama. The outlet is one of over 557 Yas shops across the country, where customers can access assistance with mobile lines, internet services, devices, and financial services.

The expansion of Yas's shop network is taking place alongside significant investments in infrastructure and services across Tanzania. Matotola revealed that the company has invested over Sh1.2 trillion in infrastructure and services, with over 4,900 towers supporting 4G and 5G services in various parts of the country. This has enabled Yas to serve more than 33.2 million customers across mainland Tanzania and Zanzibar.

The new shop in Kahama is expected to benefit not only residents but also businesses in the area. With mobile and digital services becoming increasingly essential for businesses, the shop will provide them with easier access to customer support and reduce the need for them to travel for assistance. This is expected to have a positive impact on the local economy, contributing to job creation and increased business activity.

Yas Tanzania's investment in the new shop is a testament to the company's commitment to expanding its services and improving customer experience. With a growing network of shops and investments in infrastructure, Yas is well-positioned to meet the growing demand for digital services in Tanzania. The company's efforts are expected to have a positive impact on the country's economy, contributing to growth and development.

The opening of the new shop in Kahama marks a significant milestone for Yas Tanzania, as it continues to expand its operations and improve its services. With a strong focus on customer experience and a commitment to investing in infrastructure, Yas is poised for continued growth and success in the Tanzanian market.
