New Thriving restaurant to enter quarry business

The New Thriving Chinese Restaurant is adding quarrying to its menu of businesses as the establishment has applied to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for a quarry permit in Region Two citing the high demand for stone here.

“It is because of the construction [boom]…it is to meet the high demand [for stone],” a representative of the company told Stabroek News yesterday, after being referred to by  New Thriving official Che Jian Ping.

The man who declined to provide his name, explained that was all he could say because he was not the “main man” responsible for the project and that he would ask that person to contact this newspaper to give details. Up to press time, there had been no call from that person.
