West Hills Mall will open its doors to a new festival, Chop & Shop Fest, on October 16, 2026, bringing together food, shopping, entertainment and cultural showcases in a single event.
The initiative is designed to transform the traditional mall experience by pairing retail promotions with culinary tastings, cooking demonstrations and live performances, encouraging visitors to linger, explore, and enjoy time with family and friends.
Wendy Aryee, Marketing Manager of West Hills Mall, said the festival reflects the mall’s broader focus on creating experiences that extend beyond shopping. “At West Hills Mall, we believe a visit to the mall should be about more than simply making a purchase. It should be about creating experiences, spending quality time together and discovering something new. Chop & Shop Fest brings food, shopping, entertainment and culture together in one experience, and we are excited to welcome families and shoppers to enjoy it with us,” she added.
The programme will feature food tastings, cooking demonstrations, cultural dining experiences, retail and dining bundles, family activities and live entertainment throughout the campaign period. A major highlight will be the Food Court Fiesta, with participating food tenants hosting tasting booths, special discounts and live cooking demonstrations every weekend.
Food outlets such as Barcelos, Chicken Inn, The Addo’s and Sizzler will participate, offering customers opportunities to sample dishes and enjoy special promotions. Retailers across fashion, electronics, beauty and other categories will also join through Chop & Shop Combos, linking retail purchases with dining rewards such as food vouchers.
Visitors can also expect celebrity cooks, DJs, acoustic performances and cultural dance displays. Children will have their own dedicated Family Zone, featuring food‑themed games and eating challenges.
The festival aims to strengthen the mall’s relationship with the wider community, creating a space where people can enjoy good food, discover new experiences, support tenants and simply have a great time together.
With Chop & Shop Fest, West Hills Mall is positioning the festival as a destination for both shopping and leisure, hoping to set a new standard for mall experiences in Ghana.
