AML Foods Limited announced that it has completed the purchase of Burrows One Stop Grocery Store in Governor’s Harbour Eleuthera for $2.5m. The transaction was finalized on December 24th 2024, and the store will be closed for two and half months to undergo renovations. The company is investing an additional $1.6m on the transformation and will reopen under the new name, Eleuthera Markets.

Gavin Watchorn President & CEO said in his announcement that the company is grateful to the Burrows family for entrusting their family business to AML and vowed to build on their legacy of servicing the island of Eleuthera. The company’s CEO further explained, “the newly remodeled store will follow a Solomon’s neighborhood concept. For more than three decades, Solomon’s has been providing great assortment, quality and value to our customers, and we are looking forward to reopening and bringing the Solomon’s brand experience to the Eleuthera community. When the store re-opens in March customers can expect to see an expanded assortment of groceries, chill, frozen, meat and fresh produce that will arrive on the island twice per week. Customers will also be able to sign up for the My Solomon’s Smart Rewards Loyalty Program and earn points every time they shop.” Points earned are redeemable for cash off of future purchases.

Plans are also in the works for AML to host a community event on island in February to share their vision and speak to residents. “We are extremely excited about this opportunity to serve the island of Eleuthera, and our mission is to deliver the best shopping experiences, fresh products and great service as well as support the island by becoming involved in local initiatives”. Additionally, Mr. Watchorn confirmed that they hired a local General Contractor from the island to renovate the store.
