Why Circle Mall Focuses on Experiences, Not Just Shopping-Manager


As Lagos’ urban landscape continues to grow, shopping malls are adapting to meet more than just retail needs. In Lekki, Circle Mall is positioning itself as a center for daily life experiences rather than just a shopping destination.

“At Circle Mall, we don’t just offer shopping; we create experiences that fit seamlessly into the lives of our shoppers,” says Kayode Ibidamitan, Centre Manager at Circle Mall.

Located along the Lekki-Epe Expressway, Circle Mall blends retail, entertainment, and social spaces, aiming to reflect the lifestyle demands of the modern Lagosian. With international brands like Nike, Adidas, and Puma alongside essential services, the mall provides a mix that encourages both convenience and leisure.

Security remains a central focus, with 24/7 professional guards and management systems designed to ensure a safe environment for visitors.

Beyond the shops and eateries, Circle Mall regularly organizes events to foster a sense of community. From Children’s Day activities to Democracy Day celebrations, these gatherings aim to bring people together outside of traditional shopping routines.

The mall’s partnership with Filmhouse Cinemas has also made it a go-to spot for movie premieres, offering visitors more entertainment options

“We believe malls should be places where communities come alive — through shopping, celebration, and shared experiences,” says Eniola Ositelu, Lead Marketing Consultant.

As the city’s pace quickens, Circle Mall’s model suggests that the future of retail in Lagos may lie in providing experiences that blend shopping with everyday life.
