The company operates nine stores across Kenya, including Westgate Mall, The Junction Mall, Yaya Centre, Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (Terminal 1A), IPS Building, Village Market, Galleria Shopping Mall, Garden City Mall, and Capital Centre.

Apple reseller Salute iWorld has dismissed media reports alleging it had been placed under receivership by Imperial Bank, describing the claims as false, misleading and defamatory.

In a statement issued Tuesday, Salute iWorld insisted it remains financially stable and continues to operate all nine of its stores across Kenya without interruption.

“These unfounded claims are misleading and have caused unnecessary anxiety among our customers, suppliers, employees, financial partners, and other stakeholders. Such inaccurate reporting has the potential to cause significant reputational, operational, and commercial harm to our business. We want to clearly affirm that Salute iWorld has not been placed under receivership. We are a financially stable, reputable business that continues to operate normally across all our stores,” the statement read in part.
