“We continue to make these investments, despite the challenging economic climate particularly in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic, because we are a proud Nigerian brand vested in the growth of the country’s organized retail sector.
After 38 years of serving this market, we have come to share a bond with our customers and understand their yearning for easy access to the convenience and friendly service that organized retail offers, which also informs our strides,” he added.
“Nigeria’s consumer goods ecosystem is constantly evolving and the huge working-class population as well as the young demography amongst other factors are springboards that are enabling sectoral growth of the retail space”
