The countdown is finally on for Achimota Retail Centre's carnival of unbeatable discounts, and special bargains for shoppers at this year's Black Friday sales, as the mall's tenants have begun hacking down prices to clear stocks and replenish for the impending festive season.ARC Management says it is taking this year's Black Friday sale experience to a higher level for customers and patrons by ensuring easier access to discounted merchandise and also by spicing up proceedings at the centre with exciting variety entertainment, live radio broadcasts on the sale and soothing ambient music.  Although the traditional Black Friday sale is set for the last Friday of November, Achimota Retail Centre triggered off its sale fiesta much earlier in the month with a mini sale - a side-walk sale for 'early bird' shoppers which, according to Management, will dovetail into a highly anticipated four-day Black Friday Fair slated for November 28th to December 1st at the huge open-air court at the centre."Our tenants are excited about this year's Black Friday sale and have been working tirelessly to offer an impressive array of discounts and promotions that cater for all tastes and preferences," Mrs Linda Pappoe, Marketing Manager told reporters today, adding that quite a number of retailers have already slashed down prices and announced incredible deals ahead of next week's Black Friday Fair at the centre.

Indeed, random checks at a number of stores at the centre confirmed stunning price cuts on a variety of consumer goods, while others are feverishly gearing up for a predictable encounter with eager shoppers on Black Friday, with promises of surprising discounts, deals and promotions for customers.For instance, LC Waikiki, the top global fashion retail brand says it cannot wait till Black Friday and so has already began its seasonal sale, offering customers a string of discounts ranging from 10% up to 70% on all red-tagged items in its store.

The Manager says this incredible offer could run beyond Black Friday into the festive season.      Telefonika, the popular phone outlet, has cut prices on selected items by up to 50% and is offering free giveaway packages of accessories for every phone purchase, while Brands-WA, dealers in authentic watches and executive fashion accessories has announced a 10% discount on selected products.

Pacific Fashion, retailer in African and global fashion designs says it is offering a straight-out discount of 20% on all clothing and perfumes, whiles King's Bazar, the men's executive fashion store is already handing down handsome discretionary discounts for shoppers who purchase more than a single item.
