The Shoprite store located in Circle Mall in Jakande, Lagos has just been reopened. The store which was closed following the vandalisation that erupted after the EndSARS protests late 2020 was reopened on Friday, October 21, 2022.
Ever since the Shoprite Nigeria franchise was acquired by Ketron Investment Limited in a deal led by MBO Capital, loyal customers and new shoppers have been hoping for a promotion or activity to mark this change of ownership, and now they finally have it.
Nigerians have taken to social media to express surprise after grocery retailer, Shoprite, announced its exiting the country after 15 years. According to News24, the Cape Town-based retailer has started a formal process to consider the potential sale of all or a majority stake in its supermarkets in Nigeria, it said in a trading statement for the 52 weeks to end June released on Monday.
