Flash | What is a Flash Shop?

If you’ve ever asked yourself, what is a Flash Shop? then you’ve come to the right place.

It is a normal Spaza, Superette, or mini-mart, but with extraordinary abilities.
It has boosted its business by buying itself a Flash machine
A Flash machine gives a shop the ability to sell a wide range of products to their consumers above and beyond just physical items like food and drinks, it opens up a digital world for consumers to use as a convenient touchpoint.

A SPAZA WITHOUT A FLASH MACHINE CAN SELL YOU:

Food
Drinks
Cigarettes
Other Goods

WHILE A FLASH MACHINE ALLOWS THAT SAME SHOP TO:

Sell electricity
Sell airtime & data
Sell & RICA SIM starter packs
Sell National Lottery tickets
Sell top-up vouchers
Allow customers to pay their bills

In short, it is your neighbourhood spaza levelled-up.
It’s a shop that’s gone from regular to spectacular, giving the shop more foot-traffic and the consumer far greater convenience.
Your one-stop, get-it-all shop that’s changing the face of the informal retail market.
