The concept of shopping malls was first conceived in 1922 by the JC Nichols Company, it was based on the historical market place. The market place, we all know, has always been a place where you can get almost anything under the sun. There are market places where one can even purchase human parts, gecko eyes, rat tooth etc.
It has always served as a communal hot spot, a melting pot, and a watering hole. It is against this backdrop that thousands of malls across the globe have thrived, even in the western world where communal life is rare, how much more our dear country where communal life is the backbone of our society. The Accra mall has come to play a vital role in the social lives of most Ghanaians both young and old. It not only serves as a one stop shop for all your consumer needs but also; as a watering hole where people meet to catch up on each others’ lives, meet new friends and transact business.
A note of caution to all who might visit the Accra mall, like all market places there is an abundance of confidence tricksters, pick pockets and opportunists, but that’s a topic for another day.
So by all means visit the Accra mall (I hope the management of the mall are taking note of this free advertisement-sort a brother out) and enjoy the experience.
