The first day it opened it was like a tourist site, but the Ibadan
people have since found their way back to their local markets...lol.
Barely a month after the grand opening of Shoprite at Heritage Cocoa
Mall, on Oba Adebimpe Road, Dugbe, Ibadan, Oyo State, the
retail store has been hit with low
patronage. The number of Ibadan
people who go there to buy things have reduced drastically. Some
residents blame it on the prices of goods at shoprite. While some say
it's cheaper to buy some goods from their local markets than from
shoprite, others say though it's cheaper to buy from shoprite than the
stores in their neighborhood, the difference isn't much and the
transport fare to go to shoprite and back isn't worth it, so they stick
to shops in their area.
The most patronized commodity at shoprite Ibadan is the freshly baked
bread, everything else na manage...:-) Though people go there a lot on
the weekends...just to look around.
