From a Vision
to Kenya's #1
What started in 2007 as a vision by our founder, Papa Kelli, has blossomed into one of Kenya's most trusted smartphone dealerships. We began with a single purpose: to make genuine, quality technology accessible and affordable for every Kenyan — from Nairobi CBD to all 47 counties.
From humble beginnings, we have grown steadily — fuelled by passion, trust, and an unwavering commitment to our customers. Today, through papakellyphones.com and our flagship store YesGadgets.co.ke, we serve over 115,000 clients and have sold more than 30,000 phones.
We are not just a phone shop. Papa Kelly is a content creator, reviewer, and trusted advisor to thousands of Kenyans on TikTok and YouTube — helping people make the smartest tech decisions every day.
