#IBADAN_SHOPRITE: " Attendant Reveals- They Always Come Here To Ask For "PON-MO"

Funny title.. Well, that is the truth because i didn't come up with the story on my own....
According to our source;
After the opening of Shoprite retail store in Ibadan on Thursday, June 27.

There has been different kinds of report including a famous joke says 102,000 people visited the store on that day, with only about N35,000 made from sales. Many, the inventors of the jokes claimed, were at the store to window shop and take pictures. 

However, the situation had not changed much after one week. There was a large crowd of people milling in and out of the mall, filling up all the spaces within the store.

The source also said nothing had changed at Foodco since the opening of Shoprite in Ibadan.
He said, “There is a big population in Ibadan and we have our loyal customers. Since they came, there has been no difference in our sales, so the sky is large enough. People may go there (Shoprite) and check what is happening there, but our customers know what we also offer.”

Meanwhile, an official of Shoprite, who spoke under condition of anonymity because he said he was not authorised to speak to journalists, said business has been good at the store.

From the official who spoke to our correspondent at  olafaseki.blogspot.com said; “Well, business has been good but we don’t ever discuss our sales. People have been coming to buy variety of things; bread has been doing well and people even come for locust beans and also advice us to start selling PONMO. 

“When you compare the kind of investment we have put in the place, you will know that it’s worth it. We offer our customers aesthetics and the very best.
