September 20th 2024

Today, AML Foods Limited announced that it has entered into an agreement to purchase Burrows One Stop Grocery Store in Governor’s Harbour Eleuthera. The sale is expected to be completed by December 31st 2024, at which time the store will close for two months to undergo a complete renovation.

Gavin Watchorn President & CEO at AML said in his announcement, that the new remodeled store will follow a Solomon’s neighborhood concept, and re-open under the name Eleuthera Markets. “For over three decades, Solomon’s has been satisfying, delighting and nourishing customers, and we look forward to expanding our operations to Eleuthera, and providing the community with a full shop experience, similar to what we have delivered to Exuma residents, thru Exuma Markets.”
“When the store re-opens in March customers can expect to see a transformation that includes a new, fully remodeled store with expanded grocery, chill, frozen, meat and fresh produce that will arrive on island twice per week, and access to the My Solomon’s Smart Rewards Loyalty Program”, says Watchorn. “We will arrange a visit to the island early in the new year and host a community event to share our plans and speak to residents. We are extremely excited about this opportunity to serve the island of Eleuthera, and we want to assure residents that we will strive to deliver the best shopping experiences, fresh products and great service. We would like to thank the Burrows family for entrusting their family business to AML and we will build on their legacy within the Governor’s Harbor and Eleuthera communities”.

According to Watchorn, residents and visitors to Eleuthera have always supported AML and its brands, buying groceries in New Providence and shipping them to the island, and when this opportunity became available, the island’s loyalty to their stores did not go unnoticed. “With the opening of Eleuthera Markets we are looking forward to providing even greater convenience and value to the people of Eleuthera while expressing our appreciation for their support throughout the years”.

The CEO of AML also explained that AML always strives to support the communities that they operate in, and they plan to take part in local initiatives throughout the island to accomplish this.
