Cadogan opined that, “the time was actually right for us to actually invest into owning our own here in Berbice.”
He further stated that the new location will not only cater for all the ANSA McAL businesses but will also give the staff a more comfortable environment and will have on sale, products from other companies such as Banks DIH Ltd, Demerara Distillers Ltd and more.
Cadogan said that while the Ansa mini mart is a smaller version, it is expected to provide shoppers with an improved shopping experience.

“So when you come in, you will not only be restricted to the ANSA McAL brands but you will have the opportunity to purchase a full gamut of products that you can fill the basket…”Additionally, with the Penta Shop now included, Berbicians will be able to choose from 1000 different colours of paint when deciding.
Also speaking at the event was President of the Berbice Chamber of Commerce and Vice President of the Private Sector Commission, Ryan Alexander. Alexander lauded the company for showing confidence in the Berbice economy and by extension, the Guyana economy by expanding with a new and improved facility.
