The store was officially opened by the Prime Minister of Jamaica, Portia Simpson Miller and members of the Unicomer team – Dennis Harris, Managing Director for Courts Jamaica, Mario Siman, CEO and Chairman Unicomer Group, and Mario Guerrero, Managing Director, Unicomer Caribbean.
According to a release from Courts, the state-of-the art store is the first of its kind for the retail chain in the Caribbean. Innovation and customer convenience come together in the design of the new store and it is complete with features such as solar-powered lighting, an interactive electric avenue with the latest electronics and appliances; and multiple payment centres throughout the store. Aside from the appliance and furniture focus, they have added Courts Optical, a new section that offers eyeglasses on credit.
At the launch, the massive crowd that gathered was treated to a star studded show featuring Vegas, I-Otane, Freddie McGregor, Cherine Anderson and other Jamaican artistes.
