Glovo has declared its intention to stop its operations in the country.
The multi-category platform, which has been operating in Ghana since 2021, will cease its activities effective May 10th, 2024.
Dima Rasnovsky, Regional General Manager of Glovo Africa, stated, “Following a reassessment of the company’s investment priorities, Glovo has decided to cease operations in Ghana by May 10, 2024. Glovo will focus on growing and strengthening its position in other African countries. We thank our teams, partners and riders in the country for the dedication to growing Glovo in Ghana over the last years.”
For the local team, Glovo pledges to provide severance packages exceeding the minimum legal requirements. All couriers, partners, and customers will receive notification of the closure and relevant updates from Glovo.
Africa holds significant importance for Glovo, with operations spanning Ivory Coast, Kenya, Morocco, Nigeria, Tunisia, and Uganda. The company remains dedicated to its operations in other countries where it currently operates, believing that this decision will enhance its position in those markets.
Glovo, a pioneering multi-category app, connects users with businesses and couriers, offering on-demand services from local restaurants, grocers, supermarkets, and high street retail stores. Established in 2015 in Barcelona, it operates across 23 countries in Europe, Central Asia, and Africa.
