Area 1 Shopping Centre (AMML1009)
The Area 1 Shopping Centre stands as a foundational and well-known commercial landmark within the Garki district of Abuja. Strategically located in Area 1, it serves as an essential retail and services hub for the residents of Garki Area 1 and Area 2, providing a centralized and convenient location for daily necessities.

As a traditional and enduring shopping plaza, the facility has evolved over the years to keep pace with the changing demands of the surrounding community. It offers a crucial blend of convenience and variety, allowing residents to fulfill most of their shopping needs without having to travel long distances to the larger, more congested commercial centers of the city. The organized nature of the center fosters a pleasant and less hectic shopping experience, solidifying its importance as a community retail anchor.
The management of the Area 1 Shopping Centre is focused on ensuring the facility remains in optimal condition. This includes implementing measures for security, routine maintenance of infrastructure, and general cleanliness. This commitment to structure and order guarantees that the plaza continues to function effectively as a secure and reliable commercial destination for local shoppers and a stable environment for its business owners.
