The Trinidad-based Massy conglomerate plans to open two state-of-the-art supermarkets here. The first will be on the East Bank near to the Guyana National Stadium at Providence.
In an advertisement in today’s Stabroek News, Massy Stores is seeking to hire a store manager, managers for perishables/grocery/bakery department, perishables supervisors, head cashier, store administrator, pharmacist, relief pharmacist, pharmacy manager, home care/electronics manager and a financial accountant among other positions.

The company’s plans appear well on track based on the previous commitment it had given.
On October 29th last year, the rebranded Massy Group commissioned a US$10M distribution centre at Montrose which was hailed by its CEO Gervase Warner as the most sophisticated across the sprawling conglomerate and one that would create more jobs here as plans for the opening of two supermarkets here proceed.
Warner had said then that the distribution centre feeds into the company’s plans for two supermarkets here by the end of 2015 or early 2016 on the East Bank near to the Providence Stadium, on land owned by cricketer Ramnaresh Sarwan and on the East Coast on an empty lot being developed by Trinidad business Movietowne. These, he said, would be “large footprint” supermarkets which will in addition sell a small amount of non-food items.
Warner said that the decision to get into the supermarket business in Guyana was one made after a thorough analysis of the retail sector and evidenced future profitability and returns.
