He welcomed the new store, emphasizing that it would empower painters, better serve local residents, and contribute to the economic vibrancy of the greater West Nile region.
Plascon identified Arua as a strategic location because of its role as a major commercial hub serving a wide catchment area that includes the districts of Adjumani, Moyo, Terego, Madi-Okollo, Yumbe, Nebbi, Obongi, Maracha, Zombo, and Pakwach. The new store is part of Plascon’s broader mission to deepen brand loyalty and deliver a seamless, expert-driven customer experience across Uganda.
