Now, the Company is gearing up to open another location in the Harbour Bay Shopping Plaza, in December ofthis year.
“Our customers have embraced the Solomon’s Fresh Market concept”, says Gavin Watchorn, President and CEO, of AML Foods Limited. “From the moment that we opened our doors we received numerous requests from residents in the east to open a store closer to home. Bahamians in general are adopting a healthier lifestyle and the“Fresh Market” brand supports this.”
Renea Knowles, VP of Marketing and Communications, adds, “The current tenants are also very excited about the arrival of the new store, and the opportunities that it will bring to the Harbour Bay Shopping Plaza. Our new grocery store complements the existing businesses and is expected to attract customers from both the Bahamian and Tourist market.”
“Ninety new jobs will eventually be created when the store opens”, says Mr. Watchorn.“We have hired the Managerial Team and we are currently in the process of filling the remaining positions. We expect to have our full team in place by mid October.”Dedicated to positively impacting the community, Solomon’s Fresh Market will participate in the Hands for Hunger Paradise Plates Event at the Atlantis Paradise Island,this coming Saturday. “We care about our environment and community”, says Ms.Knowles. “We will continue to support organizations like Hands for Hunger with similar pledges.
