Nigerians in need of quick cake delivery service can now heave a sigh of relieve as CakeStore9ja has been set up for a better and faster service. This service is likely to beat the traditional cake option, as it is the first of its kind in Nigeria.

While speaking at the official unveiling of the online store recently in Lagos, Chief Operating Officer, Prananet Technology Limited, Dr. Dayo Elutade, said the idea was conceived to meet the needs of Nigerians too busy to patronise the traditional markets for their confectionaries through a secured online shopping experience. Elutade noted that the time had come to give cake business the utmost attention it deserves, adding, “The new online store would enable customers place orders from the comfort of their homes and get the cake delivered at their doorsteps, anywhere within the country, with free delivery within Lagos for the next two months.”

He explained that Prananet, the company behind the initiative, the ICT arm of the Nimco Group, would be leveraging on Nimco Group’s culture of quality service delivery to make a difference in
the nation’s cake industry.

Elutade explained that the company’s staff, especially the bakers, have been duly certified, haven gone through a series of training to make them exceptional in the business. He said these bakers are in every part of the country to effectively offer value for customers, adding, “What we are simply doing with CakeStore9ja is to take off the burden of having to go from one store to the other in search of cakes from
the consumers. With the new online cake store, all that is required
of a customer is to place his order, and get such order delivered to
him in the comfort of his home or office.”

The director also said the company had partnered with NAFDAC and other consumer protection bodies to ensure its cakes are healthy for consumption.
Head, Business Development, Nimco Group, Mr. Makinde Olumide, stated
that in spite of the tough economic challenges, the company is
determined to always offer its customers value for their money. One of such, he stated, are the store’s planned consumer Valentine
promotion in various campuses of higher learning within Lagos to
enable customers in these areas have a feel of the online cake
company.
