ZANZIBAR'S EQUIVALENT OF THE WEST'S DOLLAR STORE OPENS AT THE FAMOUS MICHENZANI MALL

• A new wave of affordable shopping has arrived in Zanzibar! 
•  Zanzibar’s own Dollar Store and the newest shopping gem is finally here!

The long-anticipated BUKU3STORES — Zanzibar’s very own indigenous version of the West’s popular Dollar Stores — has officially opened its doors at Michenzani Mall, bringing excitement and smiles to bargain lovers across the island.

Just like the famous Dollarama, Dollar Tree or OneDollarStore found across North America, BUKU3STORES promises unbeatable prices — where almost everything in the shop costs around one U.S. dollar, or roughly 3,000 Tanzanian shillings (Buku 3).

A Store for Everyone

From household essentials, stationery, toys, kitchenware, and cleaning products to small electronics and personal care items — BUKU3STORES offers a surprising variety that makes everyday shopping both fun and affordable. It’s the kind of place where shoppers pop in for one item and end up filling a basket — because everything feels like a deal too good to pass up!

Whether you’re decorating your home, buying school supplies, or picking up everyday basics, BUKU3STORES is designed to meet the needs of everyone — from families and students to tourists exploring Zanzibar’s vibrant shopping scene.

Making Everyday Life Easier

BUKU3STORES’ arrival at Michenzani Mall is not just about affordability; it’s about convenience and accessibility. It offers a clean, modern retail environment with well-organized shelves and friendly customer service — making the shopping experience pleasant for all.

Speaking at the soft opening, one of the early shoppers talking to Zanzibar Ni Kwetu (ZNK) blog had this to say, “It feels like we finally have our own Dollarama or Dollar Tree in Zanzibar! You can find almost anything you need here — and all for Buku3!”

The store’s simple concept — “everything at Buku3” — brings clarity to pricing, helping customers plan their spending easily while still enjoying quality items.

Affordable Shopping Meets Modern Zanzibar

The opening of BUKU3STORES marks another milestone in Zanzibar’s evolving retail landscape. It reflects how global retail ideas can blend seamlessly with local identity, meeting the needs of modern Zanzibaris while keeping prices grounded in everyday reality.

This new venture also symbolizes a shift toward inclusive and budget-friendly shopping, catering to a wide range of consumers who appreciate both value and variety. It’s a place where affordability meets innovation — right in the heart of Michenzani.
