First and foremost, there's nothing like "funrnitures" in English. Secondly, such establishments are not called/are not supposed to be called malls. They are just furniture stores and nothing else. We have many such stores even here in Kenya but we don't call them malls. Furniture Palace along Mombasa road is a good exampleunajua IKEA ni mall za funitures! Ujerumani na China kuna malls za vifaa vya ujenzi nyingi tu! Ila yana majina ya Kijerumani

Ok the author is wrong anyway.Because you know better than the author, why can't you publish your own article?

I really doubt if you read the link but if you did, then your comprehension level is wanting. IKEA just bought that mall and will be using just a section of it for its own business (they'll definitely rent out the rest of the space but that's not written). It's clearly written that they intend to open a smaller IKEA store within the mall (the mall is 27,000 square meters).Wakenya mna DNA ya ushamba! Ulianza kudanganya ati hamna malls za vifaa vya ujenzi! Tembea fool!

In short, they are not converting the entire mall for its own use. They are just opening a store within a mall which they now own after buying it. Does that make that mall a building materials mall? The answer is No!

Ur English is wanting! IKEA bought the whole of Kings mall! Get to know IKEA shopping concept to understand what happened! U can't be staying in Kibera n argue over mall acquisition! Size n price means the whole Kings mall was bought by IKEA!I really doubt if you read the link but if you did, then your comprehension level is wanting.
