The delivery company, GLOVO, has decided to cease operations in Ghana, effective May 10, 2024.
The reasons being profitability challenges and a need for substantial investment to achieve a stronger market position as the reasons behind this decision.
This move comes after Glovo had invested €3.7 million in the country to expand its operations. Despite the potential they saw in the Ghanaian market, it seems the road to profitability was a bit too bumpy for their liking.
So, if you’re a Glovo user in Ghana, make sure to get your last-minute orders in before the clock strikes 10 pm on May 10, 2024. After that, you’ll have to find a new way to satisfy your cravings or get your groceries delivered.
But hey, who knows? Maybe another delivery service will swoop in to fill the Glovo-shaped hole in Ghana’s market. In the meantime, it’s a good idea to explore other options and keep supporting local businesses in any way you can.
