Last Thursday, I chose not to resist the temptation of visiting the "GAME" store that has opened in the plush Accra Mall, occupying some 20,000m2.
I understand GAME is a South African retail store, and is reputedly the biggest. Swell. Now, it's in Ghana, to do business. After many year's experience of shopping at "grande surface" malls like http://www.hypercarrefour.be, this doesn't particularly impress me. I am more concerned about the consumer culture it will begin to create in Ghanaians.
But that's just me!
One article here maintains the Mall is on account of Ghana's growing economy and its growing middle class...
I will certainly be a visitor to GAME, but not a regular one, as it is the other side of East Legon, where I work.
More pictures to come on the location so that one can place it in the context of the famed Spintex Road I keep talking about on this blog;0)

Hi! These are great photos! Could you please post more of the Accra Mall on your blog someday? A lot of us over at Skyscraper City (http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=421024) would love to see them. Thanks!
sure, Kitzy!!! NP!!
Thanks! :)
Mr. Mensah can you shed more light on the reason why you are not impressed with the Accra mall? I personally do not feel the reason given is a sound enough reason to develop such an opinion. Do you think it is right to base the value of Ghana's first shopping mall on how it compares with one of the top malls in Europe?i think your bases for evaluating the mall is misplaced. if we as Ghanaians can not appreciate and draw inspiration from our little achievements how do we go further to achieve greater things?
Emma, i think you just be a regular visitor to the place on weekends and stop that ..........
Behold holiday lovers! This year if you wish to take cheap flights to Accra; good news is that the South Africa's Game Store is now open in Accra. Explore the amazing Ghanaian attractions and as well as this fantastic new store.
