The owner of the multi-purpose establishment, Charles Bristol, was congratulated by the Prime Minister for his perseverance over the last 30 years to make his dream a reality, and for overcoming any bureaucratic hurdles he may have faced during his efforts.

The re-migrant was also cited as an example for others to follow by the prime minister, who described the multi-million dollar investment as a timely one for the Berbice community.

“The life we live is the life we make for ourselves. This is what government is about; helping all persons regardless of their race, creed or religion, to develop themselves, and in so doing, develop the country. We want growth and development for all,” the Prime Minister said.

Entrepreneur Bristol, in brief remarks said the multi- storied building was the culmination of a dream he harboured as he worked long hours, saving his funds to eventually make it a reality. He thanked the Prime Minister for attending the ceremony, stating that it was an indication of government’s recognition of the role re-migrants can play locally to boost development and the economy.

Giftland mega mall set for October opening

All systems are in place for the grand opening of the Gifland Mall in October of this year. Speaking with BIZNOW on Saturday, April 6, Marketing Manager of Giftland OfficeMax, Leslie Bonner, said work is continuing to progress at the facility, located at Turkeyen, East Coast Demerara.

“Everything is on schedule as we speak, and from all indications, the mall will be opened in October, as planned, despite an earlier delay,” Bonner said.

Located on over 500,000 square feet of land, a significant portion of the building will be enclosed and fully air-conditioned. More than 140 vendors are expected to occupy the mall including a large number of international franchises such as Church’s Chicken, Mario’s, Quiznos and Caribbean Cinema.

Bonner said a 12-lane bowling alley, 8 state-of-the-art 3D cinemas, a British-styled pub and more than 23 eating facilities will be located at the mall.

Caribbean Cinemas, a cinema building and distribution company based in Puerto Rico will be constructing the eight Cineplex cinemas.
“When they open their doors with the first selection of films in October, there will be a renewed adventure and excitement of cinema-going in Guyana, never before experienced. Each of the eight cinemas will be able to simultaneously show films,” Bonner stated.

An agreement has also been signed with SBA Entertainment Inc. for the leasing of space at Giftland Mall for bungee jumping, rock climbing and a kids playground within a 4,400 square feet area.

Chief Executive Officer of Giftland, Ian Ramdeo, had indicated that with the current signings and those being negotiated, the mall is over 60 percent filled and it is expected that all concessions will be taken up by October.

Mr.TI pity the fool

All dem malls do not project a booming economy. What it does is to project an economy based on imports. The purchases are mainly made with money sent to Guyana through reparations. The actual local economy is weak in agriculture and manufacturing.
