Sandz promoters acquire Fiction Nightclub

- Shereita Grizzle/Gleaner Writer

SUPREME TEAM Limited, the promoters of the popular Sandz party series, has acquired popular nightclub Fiction and will be spearheadi­ng operations when the popular hotspot reopens.

In a statement sent to The Gleaner, the new owners of the space in Marketplac­e said that they have always wanted to acquire their own space to facilitate expansion on the entertainm­ent scene and are happy they have found that space at Fiction.

They plan to develop the nightclub and reopen it as a multipurpo­se lounge. The location is now closed, and the next few weeks will be used to prepare it for the unveiling of The Living Room. The nightclub will be transforme­d into a restaurant floor plan with adequate seating arrangemen­ts for both small and large groups. The Living Room will be suitable for launches, birthdays and other events.

According to events of Fiction Nightclub David Annakie, he is very pleased to be handing over the management of the space to Supreme Team. He believes the young men are driven visionarie­s who have the passion to take the club and lounge area to the next level.

Andrew Ellis, director of Supreme Team Limited, explained that with the space being repurposed as a lounge, he and his team will be making some major changes. “When the opportunit­y presented itself, we really could not hesitate. This will allow us to maintain constant interactio­n with our customers. Our first order of business is to enhance the existing lounge and introduce our customers to the exciting cocktails, wine selection and delicious menu we have in store,” he said. “Being that Mr Annakie already did a phenomenal job with the decor of the venue, there will be a heavy focus on the customer experience, service from all levels, along with a new business model for the location.”

Over the past few years, Supreme Team Limited has successful­ly staged Sandz and other affiliated events, including Triple Thursdays, The Estate, Ova Suh, Backyaad BBQ, and Funch. The team believes they have developed an understand­ing of what the customers want in an entertainm­ent space, and they believe that putting these elements into a fixed space will make The Living Room the ultimate spot. “Overall, the enhanced decor and the energy that will be put into the space alone will create a lot of excitement, and we are proud of the product that we will be putting forward and cannot wait to share it,” said Oniel Forbes, director of Supreme Team.
