Shopwise Supermarket Gulu is a modern, 24/7 supermarket and fast-food spot located along the Gulu–Kampala Highway. It combines a full supermarket with a quick-service restaurant (QSR), making it a one-stop place for groceries, snacks, and hot meals any time of day or night.
For anyone moving in and out of Gulu—by bus, private car, or PikiPiki—Shopwise is designed as an easy, high-visibility stop on the highway.
Shopwise Supermarket Gulu is located:
Along the Gulu–Kampala Highway
Opposite the Shell petrol station and near Stanbic Bank in Gulu City ug.africabz.com+1
This stretch of road is one of the busiest corridors in Northern Uganda, serving both local residents and highway traffic headed between Kampala and the north. It’s easy to reach with a quick PikiPiki ride from anywhere in Gulu City—just set “Shopwise Supermarket – Kampala Highway, opposite Shell” as your drop-off point in the app.

Unlike traditional supermarkets that close around 9:00–10:00 PM, Shopwise Gulu operates 24/7, targeting:
Late-night shoppers
Early-morning travellers catching buses
Highway traffic needing a safe, well-lit stop
Emergency “I-need-something-NOW” runs
This 24-hour model sets it apart from older-style supermarkets in Gulu and creates a new level of convenience in the city.
Shopwise Gulu isn’t just shelves and trolleys. It runs a hybrid supermarket + QSR (quick service restaurant) model, including:
Freshly made chicken, pizza, chips (fries)
Coffee and hot drinks for travellers and night-shift workers
Takeaway meals you can grab on the go
Combined with its 24/7 hours and highway-side location, Shopwise is competing directly with the “modern petrol station + convenience store + food counter” model—without actually being on the station forecourt.
While product ranges change over time, you can generally expect:
Groceries & pantry items (dry foods, snacks, cereals, pasta, etc.) Shop Wise Corp
Soft drinks, juices, water, and energy drinks
Household items (cleaning, kitchen basics, home supplies) Shop Wise Corp
Personal care and hygiene essentials
Impulse items and late-night cravings (chips, biscuits, sweets, etc.)
It’s positioned as a convenience hub for people who don’t want the hassle of the main market or who need something outside normal trading hours.
Instead of using a complicated app, Shopwise Gulu leans on WhatsApp and direct calls:
“Fast food delivery”
“Online orders” via phone numbers and WhatsApp chat links
This is smart for the local Ugandan market: nearly everyone has WhatsApp, and it avoids asking customers to download yet another app just to place an order.
For movement to and from the store itself—or to connect from Shopwise to home, hostels, or hotels around Gulu—customers can also:
Order on phone / WhatsApp
Use PikiPiki to pick up in person or head home with their shopping
