Shoprite, a prominent grocery chain in Nigeria, is set to close its sole outlet at Ado Bayero Mall in Kano State on January 14, 2024.
The decision, communicated to employees on December 7, 2023, was based on a thorough evaluation of the store’s financial status and the prevailing business conditions.
Despite the anticipated impact on staff and the community, the closure aims at ensuring the long-term growth of the organization.
The company expresses commitment to supporting employees during the transition, encouraging them to explore opportunities in other existing stores nationwide and upcoming openings.
