Nassau, Bahamas - On Saturday December 13th 2014, the Pompey Square buzzed with young entrepreneurs of Junior Achievement Bahamas New Providence Programme as they presented their annual Open House Exhibit.

A unique trade show that takes place every year to afford the JA companies an opportunity to promote and sell their products and services. In creative displays these achievers have the opportunity to gain hands on experience in entrepreneurial activity, team development and customer service.

Locals and tourists flocked to the creative stalls that enticed them to shop, support and find out more about young Bahamian entrepreneurs creative spirit and undeniable talent.

"We are very appreciative as students and as achievers to have this opportunity. We get a taste of the real business world and local market. We gain hands on invaluable experience of being in business, working with others and being able to see a project from beginning to end," shared Mr. Daniel Gibson, President of the Achievers' Association 2014-2015.

Judged on customer service, execution of theme, sales strategy and product knowledge KPMG's Whymisca Kitchen took first place. Followed by Bahamas First's FLAME and Commonwealth Bank F.L.E.X respectively.
