Tui, with his dual perspectives as an American and Ghanaian, paints a vivid picture of why Ghana stands out in Africa and globally. From its safe environment and stable government to a thriving business ecosystem, Ghana presents a host of opportunities for investors and entrepreneurs alike.
Rashad, originally from the US but deeply connected to Ghana, discusses the dual culture shock he experienced moving between the two countries during his formative years. He emphasizes the wealth of opportunities available in Ghana, which he fully embraced when he moved back in 2019 to join a holding company. In a matter of years, Rashad and his team grew their portfolio from three restaurants to an impressive 150, making them one of the largest franchisees for Pinkberry globally.
The duo also highlight the high quality of life in Ghana, which caters to middle and upper-middle-class residents, thanks to robust healthcare infrastructure, excellent social amenities, and a blend of cultural and recreational activities. Whether it's exploring the natural beauty of the Cocoon Forest or engaging in the vibrant social scene, there's something for everyone in Ghana.
Tui delves into his entrepreneurial journey, discussing how he began his venture through entrepreneurship via acquisition. His strategic approach involved partnering with Western brands to learn and implement their processes, scaling up local brands in the process. Today, their enterprises span across 14 African countries, touching various sectors like food service, financial services, gaming, and real estate.
