Nigerians on Twitter seem to want Ebeano, Spar, Next, Exclusive stores, among others as replacements for Shoprite. They believe these Nigerian brands will do even better than the outgoing Shoprite store.
A Twitter user identified as @MansaSeyi wrote:
“You people keep deceiving yourselves. Apart from Ebeano, name another franchise that’s a Nigerian brand? It took Shoprite for Ebeano to know they could be a supermarket chain. Something they could have done long before Shoprite.”
