Cameroon's BAO Cash & Carry Changes Hands

A big shift is happening in Cameroon's wholesale scene. The BAO Cash & Carry business, known for its budget-friendly model, is now under new management. 2S Retail has taken over the operations, including seven stores spread across the country. This move is part of a bigger plan by the previous owners to focus on growing their brands through local partnerships. Even though the ownership has changed, the BAO brand and its private labels will still be supplied by the original group. This means the products you love won't disappear.BAO Cash & Carry started in 2018 and quickly became a favorite among both regular shoppers and professionals. With over 3, 000 active customers, it's clear that the brand has made a significant impact. The new owners, 2S Retail, have promised to keep the low-cost model that made BAO popular. They also plan to keep all current jobs intact. Looking ahead, they aim to strengthen the existing model in 2026 and consider expanding from 2027 onwards. This change is a strategic move, showing how businesses adapt to new markets and opportunities. It's a reminder that growth often comes from collaboration and understanding local needs.
