Distinguished Guests, Ladies, Gentlemen.

A very good afternoon to you all and indeed I am delighted to join you this afternoon to officiate the opening of the Lales Suprite Supermarket in Lautoka, which is yet another milestone in its vision for Fiji.

Lale’s Suprite Supermarket commenced setting up in October 2015. As with any new company, there is a lot of effort and preparation that goes on before the commencement of operations.

Lales Suprite Supermarket is the latest addition to the business chain owned by Mr Usman Ali who is also known as Lale. Mr Usman started his business as an automotive industry and later became the authorised LTA agent in Nadi for vehicle fitness. Mr Ali continued to invest in Nadi in different business ventures and these include service stations in Nadi and Lautoka. There are 5 outlets of Lales Fried Chicken with the most recent outlet being in Lautoka.

Lales Suprite Supermarket has a strong commitment to deliver quality service and products. With abundant experience and knowledge in the business industry and by investing in 230 professional staff, Lales are able to offer innovative products and superior service to their customers in Fiji.

Finally, I wish to take this opportunity to thank Millennium Group of Companies for continuously investing in our local economy. The company has stood firm on its vision and has continually strived for excellence. Today the company has excelled to open a supermarket. I take this opportunity to congratulate the directors, management and staff in taking the company forward.

And on this note, I take this opportunity to officially declare open Lales Suprite Supermarket.

Thank you.
