According to John Baokeng, his grand father started the company in the 1960s. At first, the company dealt in international trade, mostly between Cameroon and Europe. Then in 70s, his father joined the firm. He helped it grow in new directions. Paul joined the company in 1990 when his grand father was no longer working there. However, his father and other family member were still working there. Because Paul got his degree in economy at Yaounde University in 1987, he had two years of experience since he worked in Africa National Bank. He joined the company as assistant director and five years after, he was appointed director of the company. Now he is still working with his father who is the oldest person in the company. Although Paul is the director, he always asked advices to his father before taking serious decision because having been working there for long time, his father has more experience than he. Since the company is well handle, it has grown and expanded. Today it has many stores and other branches everywhere in the country.
