My 1st entry, with love from Lagos

Happy Market Friday guys! I'm really excited to participate in this week's edition of Market Friday by @dswigle. 

I'm at one of the outlets of the popular Pep Stores in Nigeria's fast-moving and highly commercial Lagos city.

Pep is a multinational company known to produce it's own clothing and footwear, alongside sales of homeware and other retail products at affordable rates. It is one of South Africa's fast-spreading brands and has a rich array of products.

At Pep Stores, you can choose an item and pay on installment. How about that?  Pep will also allow you exchange a bought item, within a time frame of course, if required.

Presently, there are several Pep Store branches across Lagos.
 
Please enjoy my trip around the shop in pictures.

Love the **wax prints** - our daughter had a summer internship in Ghana with Global Mamas and worked with the batik printing. Now she designs African fashion, has apparel sewn in Ghana and shipped to USA, and sells in a store in Iowa. You have ***so** much else to sell at Pep! What a great store!

Thanks for stopping by @carolkean, now i'm so envious of your daughter.  How long was the intership? That was  really ingenious!

Really cool. Nigeria needs more stores like this. Life would be so much easier if they were everywhere in the country.

This is awesome! I have never been to Nigeria, so it is very interesting to me to see what kind of markets they have there. Thank you for showing me around the store. 

This was a wonderful #MarketFriday post and I thank you for bringing your country into the challenge.

I have to admit, all of our countries are alike in some ways and very different in others!

Upvoted and Resteemed  Tip!

I couldn't agree more! We do have some otherwise rowdy but very functional markets in Nigeria as well and i intend to bring them into the mix, ha ha! Thanks a bunch and see you next week!
