Yenze Ghana Mall offers a fair 5% commission structure to keep prices affordable for customers while preserving value for vendors. The mall supports entrepreneurs through free assistance with business registration and FDA certification, ensuring that bureaucratic processes do not hinder participation. Products available include natural spices, handmade sandals, clothing, and cosmetics showcasing the diversity of Ghanaian craftsmanship. (Frozen products are not currently accepted.)
Ghanaian youth passionate about growing their businesses are encouraged to join Yenze Ghana Mall and access a supportive retail ecosystem that nurtures talent and innovation. Customers can visit the mall to shop quality, affordable goods while directly contributing to youth empowerment.
With a serene atmosphere, soft background music, and welcoming staff. Yenze has created a unique shopping experience that attracts steady foot traffic and builds customer loyalty.
"We've seen steady growth in sales because our prices are great, and customers feel at home here," says Abdul, Senior Cashier and Stock Manager.
Sales Manager Joe adds: "Our marketing is mainly digital, targeting everyone, though our core audience tends to be expatriates who admire our modern concept."
"Yenze" means "our own" in a local dialect, reflecting the project's mission to celebrate and elevate Ghanaian talent. Backed by the Mastercard Foundation's vision for dignified employment and the Ghana Enterprise Agency's commitment to entrepreneurship, the mall serves as a catalyst for economic empowerment and sustainable youth development in Ghana. Quality control measures require products to have at least six months of shelf life, proper labeling, and to pass a thorough vetting process.
