The store, which is located at the Grand Towers Mall overseeing the Abuja business district, can be compared in size to the store located in the Palms shopping mall, Lekki, Lagos.
The center will also be host to other companies such as KFC and Spur anchoring the food court.
In a chat with Mr. Jan Van Zyl, representing Shoprite Properties as regards the business relationship forged with the developer, he said “Shoprite has had an excellent working relationship with this developer; as a result, Shoprite is planning on doing many more similar developments with Novare throughout
Nigeria and other West African countries.” With the new store in place, Shoprite would be contributing immensely to the socio-economic development of the FCT and the nation as a whole. Adeola Kagho the HR manager for Shoprite Nigeria has said that “each store employs approximately 200 direct jobs and 50 indirect, when summed with the total number of stores in the country; one can say Shoprite has created an environment for over 1,200 sustaining jobs”.

She further restated that Shoprite is not only creating employment, but has invested a lot in training and personnel development. With more than half of its product procured from local farmers and suppliers, the entry of Shoprite into Abuja will be a boost to farmers within the northern zone. Shoppers are also assured of fresh and quality products, packaged to standard.
Shoprite made its first debut in Nigeria in December 2005, when it opened a Shoprite store at the Palms shopping centre in lekki, Lagos. They restructured their operations to accommodate the expansion strategy in Nigeria by appointing local Nigerian managers to manage its store operations. Shoprite also kept its promise of offering the best shopping experience, quality customer service, best prices and the creation of more jobs with the opening of stores in Surulere, Enugu, Ikeja and Ilorin.
In the last two years, Shoprite has donated through its Corporate Social Responsibility initiative tagged ‘Help-Change-a-Life’; over N4M {four million Naira} to different charities and NGOs across the nation.
Since starting out in 1979, the Shoprite brand gained valuable experience from running a retailing business across Africa. Today, the Shoprite chain remains the core business of the Shoprite Group of Companies and has over the years become one of Africa’s most trusted brands.
Shoprite’s winning philosophy is to offer customers a convenient shopping experience on basic food and household items in clean hygienic stores where customers can rely on lower prices they can trust, always.
