The largest chain of retail department shops in Ghana is called Melcom Limited (Melcom Plus Accra). Their headquarters are in Accra, Ghana, in the North Industrial Area of 2nd Palace Link Road. The majority of their revenue comes from retail, and because they stock such a wide variety of products, the brand also ranks highly in semi-wholesale and wholesale distribution.
Melcom Limited, Century Industries Limited, Crownstar Electronic Industries Limited, Melcom Travels Limited, and Melcom Care Foundation are the five distinct companies that make up the Melcom Group of Companies. One of Ghana’s top retail chains is Melcom Limited, the founding firm of the Melcom Group.
The Group is well-diversified into other businesses in addition to securing a sizeable portion of the retail market with a network of 51 Melcom retail shops and 10 cash ‘n’ carry depots located throughout Ghana.
