Yalelo Uganda has opened a retail outlet in Gulu City on Thursday, November 20, 2025 to provide its community with the freshest fish from Lake Victoria.
Yalelo is a Bantu word loosely translated as ‘for today’, a testament to Yalelo producing Uganda’s Freshest Fish.
The store was launched at a special event attended by Gulu City fish vendors, expressing excitement about the new outlet.
The outlet, which offers freshest tilapia fish from Lake Victoria is located at Aliker Road opposite RFC Fast Food, Gulu City.
Michael Tumusime, the marketing personal said their main objective is to amplify the protein industry to Ugandans. He added that Yalelo Uganda prioritizes the quality of fish in Uganda and that comes to Uganda.
According to Mr Michael, Gulu City is the home of their 26th outlet, adding that for them to manage the quality of fish in country is by farming their own. He said Yalelo Uganda offers fish at a discounted price for businesses and retailers.

Akello Filder, a fish vendor in Gulu, appealed to Yalelo Uganda to consider lowering the price. "We urge you to consider the price so that we can make a profit. Currently, we're buying fish at 10,000/= per kilo, but Yalelo's price is 13,000/= per kilo." She also requested a constant supply of fish, believing it would benefit both parties.
