A $10 million investment has been made in the Nausori economy with the grand opening of Shop N Save Supermarket’s 17th branch, which attracted hundreds of shoppers on its inaugural day. The new store, strategically positioned directly opposite the Nausori Market, is a significant milestone for the retail chain, aiming to enhance the shopping experience for local residents.
This investment encompasses not only the construction of the supermarket building but also includes fixtures, fittings, and a comprehensive inventory. Furthermore, it has created 50 new job opportunities for the local community, contributing positively to the local economy.
Executive Director Nisheel Kisun expressed confidence in Nausori’s economic potential and increasing population. “The overwhelming response from the crowd shows that we’ve invested approximately $10 million in this store, thus significantly impacting Nausori’s economy,” he stated.
The timing of the supermarket’s opening, just before the Christmas season, is part of a strategic plan to offer competitive pricing during a peak shopping period. “Customers can look forward to a modern and spacious shopping environment, a diverse range of products, and special Christmas deals on essential items such as fruitcakes, rice, flour, juices, and other household staples,” Kisun added.
The strong turnout on the opening day not only reflects the public’s trust in the Shop N Save brand but also indicates a promising future for retail in Nausori. “It shows the trust that the people of Nausori have in us, and we’re committed to providing value through quality products and competitive pricing,” he said.
With the store now open, Kisun also revealed that Shop N Save has plans for several projects that will unfold in 2026 and beyond as the company seeks to continue expanding its presence throughout Fiji, signaling a positive outlook for the region’s retail landscape.
