Update on Old Trail Fire: Continued Support for Employees and Customers
April 25th, 2025
Nearly two weeks after a fire destroyed AML Foods Limited’s Cost Right and Solomon’s Old Trail stores, the company is pleased to provide a positive update on its recovery efforts and continued support for both team members and customers.
Renea Bastian, Vice President of Marketing and Communications, confirmed that all 139 employees impacted by the fire have been successfully reassigned to other AML locations across New Providence.
“We’re proud to report that there has been no loss of jobs, and every team member affected has been welcomed into new roles within the company,” Bastian said. “We are incredibly grateful to our employees for their resilience, and to our community for their ongoing support. From day one, our top priority was to take care of our people, and we’re proud to have delivered on that commitment.”
Acknowledging the impact on loyal customers who have long depended on Solomon’s Old Trail and Cost Right, Bastian emphasized that the company is actively working on new ways to continue serving and supporting its valued customers.
“We know this loss has affected many in our community, and we want to reassure our customers that we’re still here for them. We invite everyone to shop at Solomon’s Yamacraw, where you’ll find the same great value, wide assortment, and friendly service you’ve come to expect from Solomon’s Old Trail.”
To further support Cost Right members, AML has begun integrating the most popular Cost Right Club items into the product mix at Solomon’s Yamacraw. Select meat club packs are already available, with additional products to be introduced in the coming weeks.
Efforts are also underway to restore Cost Right’s e-commerce operations. “We are actively exploring several warehouse space options that would support online order fulfillment—and potentially in-store purchases—in the near future,” Bastian noted. According to her, they are also close to enabling online orders to Nassau through Cost Right Freeport.
Bastian reconfirmed that AML remains committed to rebuilding, stronger and better, and will continue to share updates with the public as progress continues.
