The government ought to emphasized that products are sourced from the local areas first then outreach to other areas and countries. It is the best practice. Products stay fresh, can have strict quality control and respond to customer feedback promptly.  We do not need outlet warehouses for foreign products undercutting or ignoring local productive capacities.

What PPP project?? Massy is doing business in GY a very long time,they are expanding in other areas.

A release from Massy yesterday said that the regional supermarket chain, which currently operates 45 retail locations in Trinidad and Tobago, Barbados, St. Lucia and St. Vincent and the Grenadines has now extended its offering here.

Massy Stores Guyana will be located in Amazonia Mall, Providence, East Bank Demerara and the release said that it offers the convenience of one-stop shopping within its 16,000 square feet of retail space, making it the largest supermarket in the country. The Trinidad-based Massy is promising high quality fresh produce, chilled and frozen meat, prepared foods and a wide variety of local and foreign food and general merchandise items. The Massy Stores Supermarket will also offer a number of other services including a deli and bakery, butcher and fresh fish counters, an in-store pharmacy, ATM Machines, MoneyGram and SurePay points of service.

I see you are a moron like he is despite all your great pretensions to intellect. Every good supermarkets does as I stated, even Wholefoods. Good restaurants also does the same, shop from local farmers,  to maintain freshness and quality.

Mass marketers neglect local markets to keep cost down and often they neglect better quality. Shopping local for the essentials ie dairy, vegetables, and meats foster and support local merchants, ensure quality and freshness and maintain good relations with customers and their community at the same time. Every one wins this way.

In our small society where there is a dire need for local producers to vend their products, any mega store coming in ought to make a commitment to procure products available locally. It is not communism moron, it is good business. Were it communism, the stores would not exist but government controlled outlets would be there in its place.

Massy opens ultra modern Supermarket in Guyana with push to work close with local suppliers and producers

By Staff on March 17, 2016

According to the company, the new location in the Amazon Mall building represents 16,000 square feet of retail space and it offers fresh produce, chilled and frozen meat, prepared foods and a wide variety of local and foreign food and general merchandise items. The supermarket also hosts a pharmacy, ATMs and money transfer and bill payment services.

The Massy Stores continued their supermarket dominance across the Caribbean on Thursday with the opening of their first Guyana supermarket. The supermarket which is located at New Providence just behind the National Stadium, is the 46th of the company’s retail locations in the Caribbean and it now boasts of having Guyana’s largest supermarket.

According to the company, the new location in the Amazon Mall building represents 16,000 square feet of retail space and it offers fresh produce, chilled and frozen meat, prepared foods and a wide variety of local and foreign food and general merchandise items. The supermarket also hosts a pharmacy, ATMs and money transfer and bill payment services.

“The Store’s international design, which incorporates wide aisles to comfortably accommodate shoppers, and automated in store price checkers, is also complemented by extensive parking facilities to enhance the overall shopping experience”, the company said in a statement.

At the opening ceremony this morning, Minister of Business, Dominic Gaskin praised the opening of the supermarket and Massy’s continued investment in Guyana and support for doing business in Guyana.

Mr. Gaskin said the Massy company has a workforce of 1300 persons in Guyana and already contributes handsomely to the local economy. “This investment demonstrates that Guyana is the place to make investment”, Gaskin said.

He said the Government will continue to ensure that a leveled playing field exists for all companies and persons who do business in Guyana and play their role in strengthening the local economy.

The country manager for Massy Guyana, Deo Persaud, noted that the company has been operating in Guyana for 48 years and has always pushed a “business to business” model.  He said “now we are really moving into new space, operating in retail and serving a wider customer base which is a new and exciting business for us”

The Country Manager also noted that the opening of the supermarket provides the greater opportunity for the company to work closely with local suppliers and local producers, so that the customers could find the widest variety of quality local items in one location.

Massy Stores Guyana Supermarket will be open from 8:00am to 8:00pm on Monday to Thursday and on Friday and Saturday from 8:00am to 9:00pm. On Sundays, the doors will be open from 9:00am to 3:00pm.   The new supermarket has already hired over 100 persons.

The company has already started construction of another supermarket. The new one will be located at the East Coast Movie Towne Complex and is scheduled to open its doors in 2017.

Massey and other T&T companies did state their willingness, both to invest, and to source product from Guyana, instead of from Brazil.

The dumb and corrupt PPP did nothing because the Trinis weren't going to bribe them.

Bibi Haniffa posted:

NO! When Massy and other T&T companies came to Guyana, to invest and source product, the PPP did NOTHING.

So stop ventilating that this is another PPP product.  Many, who tired of Guyana, when a corrupt PPP ran the show, are giving Guyana another look.

Isn't Massey Guyanese, thought they were. I remember meeting a Massey at GCC ground for a cycling meet, they were somehow involved in cycle racing.

Every Caribbean gov't tries to ensure that investors source product locally where ever possible.  They even work with cruise ship lines to source their supplies from within the Region.

Its only the crab dog PPP who thinks that this is a bad move.  No wonder they invited Chinese frauds, who did their best to destroy what ever little manufacturing that remains in Guyana, with their import of cheap/inferior Chinese goods.

True.

Guyanese Ingenuity the best.

This is what the PNC crew are getting high about? Another foreign retail store that don't produce anything looking to push out the local business people and capitalize on wealth accumulated under the PPP now being slowly siphoned off by the AFC/APNU.  Guyana should be trying to attract businesses that actually make some product rather than those looking to come in like the Chinese and plunder then leave when going gets tough.

Oh rant Gilly know nuff nuff stuff, hehehe. That's who I was thinking about but I do know there was a company there by the same name just got them all mixed up. I met a Massey coulda been Barry (big fella) at a cycling meet when I last visited.

This project was conceived and planned prior to the elections of the present administration. The same for the company' massiveequipment  showroom and site on the East Coast.

This is an opportunity for local producers to sell their products, but this will depend on the  comparative prices paid to them. Lots of supermarkets in Guyana now, but not necessarily lower prices. More foreign products available. I would say that the prices are still high. Caters more to the people from foreign, the upper classes, and the upper middle class. Most people still prefer and get their vegetables and meat from the market sellers. The vegetables at the supermarket are more expensive (NIgel and Survival) than the markets. 

More jobs for people, though most are low skilled and low paying, but it is better than nothing.

Guyana desperately needs exports, not cannibalizing the local businesses by forcing out the small vendors with big box stores. How many local vendors will be forced out of business not that Massey has opened the supermarket? Also from the pictures inside the supermarket, less than 10% of the items appear to be local. Notice all the items on the shelves that are packed, indicating foreign imports.
