Constructed at a cost of $20 million, the mall is located at the Atomic Junction Roundabout in the North Legon and near the University of Ghana.
Owned by Medco, the mall houses over 40 shops and plays host to a wide range of local and international brands such as The Outlet, Palace, Mabel Kids Shop, among many others.
Inaugurating the mall at the weekend, Director of Medco, Kifle Hampton, said the Atlantic Mall journey began with a simple idea to create a shopping experience unlike any other in Ghana.
“And now, here we stand, with a $20 million investment, a state-of-the-art facility that will serve a wide class of people.”
According to Mr Hampton, the Atlantic Mall is strategically located to provide a wide array of services and an unbeatable shopping experience.
The mall, he added, would provide job opportunities for young people and also contribute to the growth of the Ghanaian economy.
“This mall will provide employment opportunities for hundreds of people, both directly and indirectly.
We believe in the importance of contributing to the local economy, and we are committed to doing our part,” he said.
In a speech read on his behalf, the Minister of Works and Housing, Francis Asenso-Boakye, said the opening of the Atlantic Mall as a hub of commerce would be a catalyst for economic growth in the region.
“The opening of this magnificent shopping mall promises to be a hub of commerce and a catalyst for economic growth in the region.
It represents a significant milestone in the growth and development of Ghana's retail industry,” Mr Asenso-Boakye said.
According to the Works and Housing Minister, the government recognised the important role of malls in creating jobs and generating revenue for the local economy and for the country as a whole.
