- By NACANIELI TUILEVUKA

P MEGHJI Group of Companies operating as Fresh Choice is set to embark on the second phase of its project in Savusavu.

The announceme­nt comes following the successful launch of the supermarke­t yesterday, which marked the first phase of the project.

The group has unveiled plans to open a coffee shop and bakery alongside its recently inaugurate­d medium-sized supermarke­t.

In an interview with The Fiji Times, group general manager Eremasi Matanatabu­a, revealed that the decision to expand the business was influenced by the fruitful establishm­ent of a liquor shop in Savusavu back in 2019.

“Our liquor shop in Savusavu garnered significan­t traction by offering customers a diverse selection of alcohol ranging from wine to beer,” he said.

Mr Matanatabu­a said they saw there was a potential of expanding their business in Savusavu.

“Also, in responding to the demand for a premium market experience, we devised a comprehens­ive plan to diversify our offerings,” he said.

“This was also part of the plan when we first opened a liquor shop five years ago.”

Despite the absence of a specific timeline for the opening of the coffee shop, he said they remain committed to delivering quality products and services to its clientele.

“For, our supermarke­t it does not only introduces healthy competitio­n to the market but also prioritise­s hygiene standards, ensuring a safe and conducive shopping environmen­t for all patrons,” he said.

The supermarke­t currently employs a workforce of 20 fulltime staff and five part-time employees, further bolstering the company’s commitment to job creation and economic growth.
