The town of Sagamu witnessed a vibrant blend of celebration and corporate elegance on Saturday as Ace Mall, one of Nigeria’s fastest-growing retail chains, unveiled its 13th outlet in the country.
The grand opening, which took place at the new facility along Oba Erinwole Road, drew an impressive crowd of dignitaries, business leaders, and excited residents, all eager to welcome the latest addition to the town’s commercial and lifestyle landscape.
Ace Mall’s expansion into Sagamu is part of its broader strategy to strengthen its footprint across the South West region. The new branch joins a network of outlets in major cities including Oluyole-Ibadan, Akobo-Ibadan, Bodija-Ibadan, Oyo, Ile-Ife, Osogbo, Saki, Iseyin, Abeokuta, Ilorin, Ogbomosho, and Ijebu-Ode.
Speaking during the ceremony, Chairman and CEO of Ace Mall, Prince Adeyinka Afonja, reaffirmed the company’s dedication to service excellence, youth empowerment, and job creation. He urged the staff of the Sagamu branch to see themselves as brand ambassadors, working with diligence, passion, and loyalty.
“I want to implore you to recharge your services with utmost commitment,” Afonja said. “Ace Mall is not just a workplace; it is a springboard for your dreams and aspirations.”
The retail mogul also extended appreciation to the Ogun State Government, particularly Governor Dapo Abiodun, for creating a conducive environment for businesses to thrive.
Officiating the ribbon-cutting was Bishop Richard Ige, who hailed Afonja’s leadership and praised the company’s community-oriented approach. He described the Sagamu outlet as “a symbol of purpose-driven entrepreneurship.”
“This brand is not just about profit-making,” Bishop Ige stated. “It’s about building communities, empowering people, and leaving a legacy of excellence.”
He urged residents of Sagamu to patronize the facility, noting that their support would foster local development and job creation.
The new Ace Mall Sagamu offers a fully integrated shopping and leisure experience. Like its sister branches, it houses a modern supermarket, a cinema, an arcade, and a wide selection of eateries and cafés providing a one-stop destination for families and individuals seeking retail convenience and recreation.
Guests at the launch ceremony commended the ambiance and high standards of the new facility, with many describing it as a welcome development for the commercial growth of Sagamu and its environs.
