YOLANDA NEL - Ten years of planning has paid off with a successful first year that followed after the Nictus Giga store opened in Windhoek.

According to the branch manager of Nictus Giga, André Hanekom, "whatever we build ends up building us. It has made us stronger and wiser in terms of operational challenges,” he said during the birthday celebrations.

Having been in the business for 71 years, Nictus is the oldest furniture retailer in the country. There are six shops: two in Windhoek and one each at Swakopmund, Walvis Bay, Ongwediva and Tsumeb.

Not only are the 198 staff members all Namibians, but Nictus is proud to say that there is also proportional distribution between male and female staff. A total of 97 staff members are employed at Nictus Giga.

The idea of the massive Giga showroom started more than a decade ago and has required a lot of input and planning over the years. The biggest consideration was to retain the company’s fair market share.

The large showroom of more than 7 200 square metres offers more than 14 000 products ranging from garden furniture and couches, to kitchen appliances, bedding and everything in between. There are more than 100 lounge suites and 50 bed bases to choose from, ensuring something for everyone.

Nictus is home to trusted brand names such as Sealy, Defy, Whirlpool, Delonghi and Cloud Nine. Grundig is exclusively available at Nictus.

As part of the Nictus Giga birthday celebrations, a new range of furniture was launched last week. La Forma, all the way from Barcelona, offers sleek and stylish designs for the office, dining room or bedroom.
