FoodCo, a leading retailer in Nigeria and one of Africa’s fastest-growing companies, has announced the opening of its latest brand store in Ikotun, Lagos. This new store marks a significant milestone as it is the first FoodCo location within the Lagos Mainland, bringing the total number of stores to 22, with outlets spread across Ibadan, Lagos, and Abeokuta.
Funmi Aiyepeku, the Head of Innovation, Growth, and Business Transformation at FoodCo, highlighted the company’s mission to make modern retail accessible to all Nigerians, regardless of their location or socio-economic conditions.
“We are excited about the opening of the latest FoodCo brand store in Ikotun,” Aiyepeku stated. “This event also marks our formal expansion into the Lagos Mainland following earlier launches in Ikoyi and Lekki on the Island. Lagos State is home to over 20 million people, and Ikotun is a major hub with a significant number of the city’s young and upwardly mobile population.”
The FoodCo Ikotun store offers a diverse selection of high-quality products, including groceries, household essentials, apparel, and confectionery, all housed within a modern and spacious shopping environment. Aiyepeku emphasized that the store experience is tailored to meet the sophistication of today’s shoppers while addressing their everyday lifestyle needs.
“As a customer-focused company, FoodCo customers can be assured that we will continue to strive to spread our locations to where they need us. This is why it gives us great pleasure to bring the convenience and quality assurance that modern retail offers to our customers in Ikotun and its surroundings,” she added.
