Goodman Fielder Fiji will be opening its first Tuckers Ice Cream parlour in Damodar City Centre Complex in Raiwai, Suva.
General manager Chris Zaayman said as customary parlours, Tuckers Ice Cream will certainly bring new and exciting flavours.
He said they would have a variety of ice cream served in cones, sundaes, milkshakes and protein drinks.
“Our consumers can be rest assured of delicious deserts and drink options with the new Tuckers Ice Cream parlour,” he said.
Whilst this will be Goodman Fielder Fiji’s very first Tuckers Ice Cream parlour, Mr Zaayman has assured this will surely not be the last.
“With Goodman Fielder solely managing this project, our goal is to establish a Tuckers Ice Cream parlour within other malls and shopping centres throughout Fiji,” Mr Zaayman said.
Mr Zaayman said they first want to make sure the parlour is a success and will then go into the other areas.
Why Damodar City?
In terms of why choosing Damodar City for its first parlour, Mr Zaayman said they were looking for a premium venue to ensure they stayed in the public eye.
He said it was the potential in Damodar City which led to their decision.
“We congratulate Damodar for this extensive investment to the Fijian economy,” he said.
“A complex of this nature creates many opportunities for the locals from employment to having a safe and secured enjoyed centre.”
City complex progress
Meanwhile, Damodar Brothers (Films) Limited chief executive, Div Damodar, said the construction of the multi-million-dollar complex was progressing well.
“The contractors are expected to finish construction by July and the tenants will then start with their fit outs, while some have already started,” he said.
A staggered opening is being considered for the centre with the hope for each and every tenant to gain maximum mileage for their shop.
