The nightlife in Kasumba Square is excellent, as there is music and beer, and the wines and spirits are sold at affordable prices compared to the rest of the city. The Mall has attracted other surrounding businesses, such as the ice plant and market stalls, in exchange for bringing development to the nearby community.

Kasumba Square Mall was started and founded by Mr. Eriabu Kasumba, one of the first African businessmen to operate on the main street Kampala Road in the early 1960s, while the businesses were efficiently owned by Asians and Europeans. Mr. Eriabu started from humble beginnings by opening a grocery store in Nateete Mall with his brother, the late Christopher Lwanga, the business was very successful and he decided to have another store in the city center.

They got a place in the old tax park and named the company Kabale Busega Stores Ltd, while doing business there, the government selected it on merit by assigning it a large department store on Kampala’s main street for it to blend in with. He ran the business so well and other Africans followed his example to do business in the commercial district of Kampala. After 25 years, he started to build a mall from a swampy place to a magnificent place now. Mr. Kasumba with the help of his family who is in the diaspora has something to count on.
