Shoprite (Ikeja City Mall)

The anchor of Ikeja City Mall — Lagos’s biggest and busiest shopping centre — Shoprite is where Lagosians come for one-stop, air-conditioned convenience. The South-African supermarket giant stocks groceries, fresh produce, household goods and more at competitive prices, and the mall around it adds fashion stores, a cinema, banks and food courts. Not a hidden gem, but a genuinely useful landmark on the Mainland, and a good barometer of everyday middle-class Lagos life.
