What is Fonola Mall all about?

The Ghanaian community has embraced the idea of shopping malls but unfortunately we have just a few around to cater for our numbers. It is with this reason that we decided to take advantage of the era of technology to expand the mall experience by taking the malls directly to the homes and offices of every Ghanaian. We have a cluster of shops cutting across all our categories where visitors of our online mall can shop conviniently and have their orders delivered to them. We also have a general market place where customers can search for exactly what they want and our in-built crawlers will search through all the shops onboard to bring out those which meet the search criteria. Then the customer can pick what he/she wants out of the lot.
