What We Do
About Us
YCG is a growing wholesale and retail group serving communities in Lubumbashi and Kolwezi since 2006. We've focused on providing everyday household essentials at affordable prices, offering real value for local Congolese customers. We are driven by a simple goal: to support everyday living through reliable products, fair prices, and a commitment to the people and communities around us.
Retail
Our retail journey began in 2006 with a focused range of food essential products, including sugar, cooking oil, corn flour, baking flour, and tinned fish and meat. As we witnessed the growth in demand and the evolving needs of a growing consumer base, we slowly expanded our retail product range into everyday household essentials, followed by consumer electronics and home appliances. Over the years, this steady expansion has significantly increased our product offering. Today, our stores carry over 2,000 SKUs across more than eight diverse product categories, reflecting our commitment to variety, value, and accessibility.
Wholesale
Wholesale has been a core pillar of YCG since day one, beginning with essential food commodities such as sugar, cooking oil, and flour. Over time, YCG played a significant role in meeting large-scale demand in Kolwezi market. As the countries infrastructure and educational growth expanded, our wholesale operations evolved accordingly. Today, we are highly engaged in the wholesale distribution of curated metal roofing sheets, supplying an average of 30,000 sheets per month, while also developing our own brand of school books to support the growing education sector. This growth reflects our ability to adapting with the market and contributing to long-term development.
