Who owns the Accra Mall?

It will be interesting to know which group of people owns the Accra Mall.

Excellent show piece of modern shopping just like the developed world these days.

I see many flock in there to do their shopping in the mist of the poverty that surrounds Ghana.

The staff are well trained with excellent customer care and also there is a good display of products.

It appears most of the products are made from some where else but Ghana.

Where are our great business entrepreneurs the Makola men and women.

Can’t they face this challenge too?

Well, one would assume that if they have the business know-how then they would face this competition.

Sainsbury’s a supermarket started small just like our Makola men and women but see how far they have moved on over the course of the years.

Micro- financing is not perhaps going too far to reach out to those who need assistance most.

Back to my question who owns the Accra Mall?
