    Breaking: ShopRite Denies Reports That it is Leaving Nigeria

    ShopRite Nigeria has denied reports making the rounds that it intends to close shop in Nigeria.

    The Country Director for Chastex Consult, Ini Archibong, in a telephone conversation with Vanguard, said: “Shoprite is not leaving Nigeria.

    “We have only just opened to Nigerian investors which we have also been talking to just before now. We are not leaving, who leaves over a $30billion investment and close shop? It doesn’t sound right.

    “We only just given this opportunity to Nigeria investors to come in and also help drive our expansion plan in Nigeria. So we are not leaving.

    “I have tried to say this as too many people as I can. There should be no panic at all and all of that. There is no truth in that report.”

    Recall that reports have been circulating that the retail outlet has started a formal process to consider the potential sale of all or a majority of stake in its supermarkets in Nigeria.

    The report further stated that Shoprite results for the year do not reflect any of their operations in Nigeria as it will be classified as a discontinued operation.

    The report also said international markets excluding Nigeria contributed 11.6 percent to the group sales and reported 1.4 percent decline in sales from 2018.

    South African operations contributed 78 per cent of the overall sales and saw 8.7 percent rise for the years.

    The report went further to say that as a result of the lockdown, customers’ visits declined 7.4 percent but the average basket spends increased by 18.4 percent.
