Managing director Saifud Dean said: “We have operated supermarkets before and with past experience and knowledge gained we decided to rejoin.
“Like any other business we will be taking many risks as again COVID-19 is on the rise.”
However, he said the key to success has always been his family support and he was confident that he would prosper.
“In front of the supermarket we have a fuel station operating 24/7,” he said.
“The location was suitable as there was a lot of parking space and people who missed out shopping in Labasa Town can hop in anytime.”
