NASSAU, BAHAMAS- AML Foods Limited officially celebrated the opening of Harbour Island Markets on Monday, May 18th, 2026, marking an exciting new chapter of community focused retail and neighborhood service for Harbour Island following the Company’s acquisition of the former Captain Bob’s Seafood & Meat Market earlier this year.
To commemorate the occasion, AML Foods Limited hosted an Opening & Customer Appreciation Event featuring an official ribbon cutting ceremony, customer appreciation activities, and community giving totalling $13,000 in donations to organizations making a meaningful impact throughout Harbour Island and North Eleuthera.
As part of the celebration, donations were presented to the Harbour Island Day Nursery & Preschool, the Harbour Island Junkanoo Committee, and the North Eleuthera Regatta Committee in support of youth development, cultural preservation, and community initiatives throughout the islands.
“We are extremely excited to officially open Harbour Island Markets and continue the legacy of service and community connection that Captain Bob’s built over many years,” said Gavin Watchorn, President & Chief Executive Officer of AML Foods Limited. “This is more than a store opening for us. It represents our commitment to investing in Family Island communities, supporting local initiatives, and creating a shopping experience that residents can continue to be proud of.”
AML Foods noted that community support and relationship building remain key pillars of the Company’s long-term vision across The Bahamas.
“Harbour Island has a strong sense of identity, culture, and pride, and we wanted this opening to reflect that,” Watchorn added. “Supporting organizations that contribute to youth development, cultural preservation, and community events is important to us because these groups help shape the heartbeat of the community.”
The Harbour Island Markets location will continue operating as a fresh market and neighborhood grocery concept designed to provide quality products, fresh offerings, convenience, and friendly service tailored to the needs of both residents and visitors. The location operates similarly to AML Foods’ Eleuthera Markets store in Governor’s Harbour, while future plans for continued upgrades and a full remodel remain scheduled for 2027 as part of the Company’s ongoing Family Island expansion strategy.
AML Foods Limited continues to expand its presence throughout The Bahamas with a growing focus on strengthening service and accessibility within Family Island communities. The opening of Harbour Island Markets marked another significant milestone in the Company’s continued investment in the future of Bahamian retail and community development.
