Judel Supermarket, Ifa Junction Branch

While going for a charity programme, I branched out to a very classic supermarket, and I thought it was nice to spot it on the map; it's very likely that places like this may not be on the map.

Judel supermarket is a supermarket situated at ifa big junction, a stone throw away from a popular bus stop making it very easily for traveller or visitors to purchase good for who they intend to visit, this is one characteristic this shop has from others, this super market is not hidden and it is sited very close to the mainroad, a large area is left aside for vehicle who wishes to branch in to park, for exemplification the parking space is not that large and can't contain up to 5 toyota camry, some will have to parking by the road side and shop what ever they want, from my little research judel Supermarket was establised by Jude OKon in 2010, and you can now see clearly where the name originates from.

Customer Service

Although the Judel supermarket is a multimillion naira business, it has just one employee, a very young boy who was accountable for all the questions from customers, and I am sure he is paid well to do so; he sits beside a computer-based reporting system where an account of every product bought is recorded properly. At the time of entering this supermarket, I noticed the sales boy doesn't have specific clothes, like a uniform he wears that has the supermarket's logo.

Products and Prices

Indeed this is a supermarket because I found almost all kinds of products, ranging from edible to non-edible products. I saw an umbrella, sack bags, bedspreads, creams, wine bars, perfumes, and rice in bags. There are diverse products; the wine bar, the creams and the perfumes are stocked in the extreme end of the store. Well stocked from the few pictures of the products I snapped, I will be listing them and their prices.

This part of the super has ready-to-eat products well packaged; the packaged biscuits here cost N2000, and the noodles can be sold at N250 per sachet; for a carton, it costs N8000.

Facilities

Judel supermarket is just a walk-in, walk-out store; you get what you want and go your way, so it doesn't require so many facilities. Electricity is almost constant in this place since, most times, customers may be in need of chilled stuff for a quick shopping experience. Jewel supermarkets have baskets to take alongside you as you walk through the narrow walkway beside every shelf of products. Another facility here is a restroom for customers who are pressed and seek a place to relieve themselves.

As previously stated, there is a small customer service counter near the entrance where the sales boy sits; it is well equipped with a POS system for cash (transfers) and card payments.

Working Hours

Customer Services and the counter

Judel supermarket operation is community-centric. If a big junction is a busy place since it is a bus stop for every traveller, the working hours depend on the nature of the community. If by any chance anything happens, there could be an adjustment every blessed day; the restaurant is open from 7:30 am and closes by 9:00 pm to accommodate various schedules.
