NASSAU, BAHAMAS— Christmas sales at Super Value Food Stores were “fantastic” and “even better than expected,” according to company president Debra Symonette, as Bahamians turned out in strong numbers to stock up for the holiday season.
“Will wait to take a look at the figures, but I think it was fantastic! Even better than expected. Stores were busy. The demand for turkey and ham was high. Particularly turkey. Fortunately, we were able to meet the demand,” Symonette said.
She noted that despite ongoing concerns about inflation, shoppers remained in a celebratory mood and were willing to spend to ensure a proper Christmas meal.
“Bahamians always love a good Christmas meal, so we always stock up on the popular items. Despite the cries about inflation, people were still in celebratory mode and were willing to spend to get what they wanted,” she added.
Symonette said Super Value focused on offering variety and value throughout the season, ensuring customers had multiple options at different price points.
“We were sure to offer a good variety of products, brands and prices. Even our cakes were a big seller,” she said.
To accommodate the increased holiday traffic, the retailer also extended store hours.
“We made sure we had flexible, extended hours. We appreciate our customers and do what we can to accommodate them.”
