On Wednesday, September 11, 2019, regional supermarket chain, Massy Stores opened its 49th store – Massy Stores Mega at Turkeyen \u2013 at the Movietowne Complex in Guyana. \u00a0This is the second Massy Stores location in Guyana, following the opening of the Providence store in 2013.
Massy Stores Mega offers a unique format to the Guyana market. \u00a0While the Providence location delivers the traditional features of a supermarket, the Turkeyen location offers a bulk shopping experience which spans approximately 52,000 square feet, with an expanded range of food and non-food items.\u00a0
The non-food offerings include several new categories such as electronics, generators, tenting, luggage and auto accessories, to name a few. \u00a0The new store also includes a bakery, pharmacy, deli as well as an expansive frozen and chilled food section and a wide range of local and foreign fresh produce.
In his remarks at the opening ceremony, Chairman of Massy\u2019s Integrated Retail Business Unit, David Affonso commented that \u201cwe [Massy Stores] offer a unique format. \u00a0This is only the second Massy Mega format in the region \u2013 the first was established in St. Lucia several years ago. \u00a0The Mega format is similar to the warehouse or club shopping experience which has become popular in the USA. in which customers have the option to purchase a wide variety of items in larger quantities at very affordable price points. \u00a0The big difference with Massy Mega is that there are no membership fees \u2013 all are welcome!.\u201d
He added \u201cour choice of location, at Movietowne, was another important convenience. \u00a0This location is a hub of entertainment and provides customers with many options at one location \u2013 world-class cinemas, premium dining options and now with Massy Mega, an exceptional shopping experience.\u201d
Massy\u2019s loyalty program (MassyCard) is another significant aspect of the value proposition of both the Providence and Turkeyen stores. \u00a0Cardholders can access exclusive promotions and opportunities to save by earning and redeeming points when they shop at Massy Stores. \u00a0The Turkeyen store opens from Monday to Saturday from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. and on Sundays from 9 a.m. until 6 p.m. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One year after its bold announcement to implement a charge for single use plastic bags, Massy Stores has recorded that positive customer response has led to a 80%-90% reduction in the circulation of single use plastic bags from its 48 stores across the territories in which it operates \u2013 Trinidad and Tobago, Barbados, St. Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines and Guyana. This reduction translates to over 40.5 million bags removed from circulation over the past year.<\/p>\n
The positive consumer response was also mirrored in the increased usage of reusable bags. The company recorded that over the past year, 1 million reusable bags were in circulation across the regional customer base.<\/p>\n
The decision to reduce plastic waste is part of the company\u2019s broader commitment to find ways to operate more sustainably and become more environmentally conscious. Across the region, Massy Stores has begun changing its lighting systems to LED to reduce energy consumption. In Barbados and St. Lucia, solar (photovoltaic) systems were installed to power systems using renewable energy. The supermarket chain also switched to ozone friendly gas to fuel the air conditioning and refrigeration systems and incorporated insulated roofing in its new building designs to reduce energy consumption. Legislative support in St. Vincent and Guyana resulted in the 100% elimination of Styrofoam in our stores, with increased reductions in other territories pending legislated bans.<\/p>\n
Across the region the company forged several partnerships with environmental agencies such the recycling organizations Jua Kali in St. Lucia; B\u2019s Recycling in Barbados and iCare Program in Trinidad and Tobago who have all partnered with Massy Stores to collect and remove recyclable waste. Further, our Caribbean-wide employees have participated in several clean-up activities and initiatives to remove waste plastic from the environment.<\/p>\n
In each territory Massy Stores has advanced the agenda for positive environmental action. A systematic, waste diversion strategy was implemented in St. Lucia \u2013 an effort for which our operations received international recognition at the 2019 IGA Global Rally in San Diego. In Barbados and Trinidad and Tobago, a regularly scheduled system for the collection of plastic waste, brought in by customers to store locations, has facilitated a mind shift in the way customers sort and dispose of non-recyclable waste. In St. Vincent, Guyana, and other territories Massy Stores has been focused on empowering active environmental groups through financial contributions to support their efforts. Regionally, over US$40,000 was awarded to environmental groups over the past year.<\/p>\n
Massy Stores remains committed to doing its part, sharing best practices, listening to stakeholders and collaborating with its diverse, valued customers to be A Force for Good for the region.<\/p>\n","image":"","link":"https:\/\/massystoresgy.com\/40-5-million-plastic-bags-removed-across-5-caribbean-territories-one-year-after-massy-stores-announced-bag-charge\/"},{"title":"
