Shoprite Mall has stated that one of its Abuja locations would discontinue operations on June 30, 2024.
The branch is located at Novare Central Mall, Wuse Zone 5.
This was stated in a circular signed by the retail supermarket’s CEO, Dr Folakemi Fadahunsi, and acquired by Punch on Monday.
A staff at the store who pleaded anonymity also confirmed the report, saying “Yes, it is true, we just heard it here too.”
The famous mall ascribed its decision to a careful examination of the store’s financial status and the present business environment.
It also told merchants that their services would no longer be required at the store.
The circular read, “We regret to inform you that as of June 30, 2024, Retail Supermarkets Nigeria Limited will be closing its Wuse Store located in Novare Wuse Central Mall, Abuja. This decision has been made after a thorough evaluation of the store’s financial situation and the current business climate. We believe this is the best course of action for our organization’s long-term growth.
“Effective June 30, 2024, our company will no longer operate in Wuse, Abuja, and we will no longer require your services for the Novare Wuse Central Mall Store. Please note that all existing service contracts will also terminate for the store.”
