W. Emporium Journey’s Towards A Local Multi-Billion-Dollar Segment

W. Emporium, a large store that sells a variety of merchandise has opened its door to patrons in Accra as it sets its sights on the booming multi-billion-dollar segment.

Mrs. Otiwaa Oduro-Kwarten, the Buyer and Corporate Affairs Manager at W. Emporium, speaking on the rationale for its roll-out disclosed that, the combination of quality, affordability and convenience ensured a superior experience that consumers could scarcely find on the market.

According to her, despite a growing local economy and sustained patronage which saw its sales figures grow steadily in the 16 years that it operated in the country, Emporium exited the Ghanaian market in 2019, with part due to rising operating costs in other West African markets.

Mrs. Oduro-Kwarten also mentioned that, the goodwill Woolworths enjoyed from a loyal customer base saw its former operators overwhelmed with requests for similar services. Hence, resulting in the introduction of W. Emporium to the market in 2022, she added.

“After the exit of Woolworths, customers still continued trooping to the flagship store’s location, which was in a very central and visible location at the Airport, area in anticipation of a return.

“Seeing the gap that existed in the market, we made the decision to replicate and expand on what was previously in existence.”

Mrs. Otiwaa Oduro-Kwarten

Mrs. Oduro-Kwarten in her speech indicated that, superior knowledge of the domestic market and decades-old interactions with key suppliers ensured that her outfit is able to provide “the best possible products at the best possible prices”, emphasizing that, it does not sacrifice quality in its apparel and food delivery segments.

“We are offering a full lifestyle experience and bringing the benefits of high-end brands to our customers all under one roof. It is almost akin to walking the streets of Milan or Barcelona.”

Building Strong Ties With Domestic Manufacturers And Impacting The Economy

Mrs. Otiwaa Oduro-Kwarten communicated W. Emporium’s intention to deepen its working relationship with domestic manufacturers, in a bid to provide consistency for customers.

 “We have witnessed growth in the demand for locally designed and manufactured apparel, but the age-old problem of inadequate supply to meet the markets’ demand persists. The consistency, availability and convenience continue to elude us, and this is a big deficit, but we are on course to piece the different fragments together.”

Mrs. Otiwaa Oduro-Kwarten

Mr. Joe Ofori-Atta, the Director of Kinetic Outfitters (a private equity fund that owns W. Emporium) mentioned that, with the continental market accounting for 2.2% (US$31billion) of the global fashion and lifestyle global market of about US$1.4trillion, W. Emporium is well-placed to expand local participation, particularly through the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA).

“We have seen how the pandemic and resultant rise in technology has influenced consumer patterns, and we are primed to employ a range of tools, especially with data, to increase the Ghanaian share of the market.”

Mr. Joe Ofori-Atta

Mr. Ofori Atta touching on segment growth and its impact on the economy stated that, growth in the lifestyle segment will have a domino-effect on other aspects of the economy.

“As we seek to transform the economy, the lifestyle segment has potential to provide direct and indirect jobs, grow our supply chain and logistics, and other areas such as real estate and agriculture.

“As we expand, the benefits of economies of scale will become more evident. We are excited about the opportunities we see to invest in our diverse businesses, and hopefully drive long-term value creation.”
