The much awaited Achimota Retail
Centre, the latest modern retail shopping facility in the country, opens today
near the St. John’s Grammar School at Dome in Accra.
The US$60 million investment project
is owned by Delico Achimota Limited, mainly controlled by Attafrica Limited,
the same group that is the majority shareholder of West Hills Mall.
Construction works on the Achimota
project began in April 2014 and took 18 months to complete.
The new shopping centre sits on a
total land area of 35,790m² of which 14 622m² constitutes the trading space,
with a total of over 45 shops and two anchor tenants – Shoprite and Palace. It
offers customers and patrons a well-balanced tenant mix with nearly 50% of the
brands and tenants originating from Ghana.
The shops are offering a wide
variety of products and services ranging from grocery and foodstuffs,
lifestyle, beauty and wellness, electronics and telecommunication, budget &
designer fashion and clothing, gifts and high value jewellery, pharmacy,
banking and financial services and children’s recreation.
One unique feature of Achimota
Retail Centre is its varied chain of eateries, numbering nine in all and
including, the Chop Bar, a uniquely Ghanaian gourmet outlet. Other food houses
are KFC, Basillisa, Food Inn, Piza Hut, Steak Escape, Roaj Restaurant and
Second Cup.
A spacious parking area with
capacity for 585 cars - of which 250 constitute an undercover basement parking
- is part of a string of modern architectural principles and special amenities
incorporated in the mall’s design by the owners to ensure optimum convenience
and enrich the overall shopping experience of customers and visitors to the
centre.
