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.
