Retail giant Shoprite Holdings has officially begun the process of exiting the Ghanaian market, marking the end of its over 20-year presence in the country.
The announcement, part of a broader strategic shift, forms part of the South African group's continued withdrawal from several African markets to refocus on its home base.
In a trading update for the 52-week period ending June 29, 2025, Shoprite revealed it had received a binding offer in June for its Ghana operations, which include seven stores and one warehouse.
The company said the sale was "highly probable," and confirmed the Ghana operations had now been classified as discontinued.
