Prime Minister Hubert Ingraham yesterday praised the investment made by AML Foods Limited at the grand opening of Solomon's Fresh Market in western New Providence, adding that the market has already employed nearly 90 Bahamians.
"AML Foods Limited undertook this significant investment in a 38,000 square foot grocery store during what is recognized as the great recession, the worst global economic downturn since the 1930s," Ingraham said.
AML Foods Limited owns Domino's Pizza, Cost Right Warehouse and Solomon's Super Centre and is in discussions to bring Carl's Jr., a popular American eatery, into the country, he said.
"I believe that you have chosen wisely in locating your newest store in this portion of the western district. This area includes a new business angle, existing neighborhoods, which continue to expand, as well as new residential subdivisions."
He added that Solomon's Fresh Market will become a catalyst for other businesses to follow in the years to come.
Ingraham said Bahamians can all be proud of the fact that this new market is environmentally friendly, inclusive of building materials, air conditioning and refrigeration, and light and water usage.
He added that much progress is being made on the construction of the four-lane highway which will link Blake Road to Oakes Field and beyond to the center of Nassau, making travel to the new market much easier.
The market is located on Windsor Field Road near Lynden Pindling International Airport.
