A $10 million investment has recently bolstered the economy of Nausori with the grand opening of Shop N Save Supermarket’s 17th branch, which drew hundreds of eager shoppers on its first day. Strategically located right across from the Nausori Market, this new store marks a significant milestone for the retail chain, aiming to improve the shopping experience for local residents.
The investment covers not only the construction of the supermarket but also includes fixtures, fittings, and a fully stocked inventory. In addition, it has generated 50 new job opportunities for the local community, providing a boost to the economy.
Nisheel Kisun, the Executive Director, expressed optimism about Nausori’s economic prospects and growing population. “The overwhelming response from the crowd illustrates our significant investment of approximately $10 million into this store, and its potential impact on Nausori’s economy,” he stated.
Timing the opening just before the Christmas season is a key part of the company’s strategy to offer competitive pricing during this busy shopping time. “Customers can expect a modern and spacious shopping environment, a wide range of products, and special Christmas promotions on essential items such as fruitcakes, rice, flour, and juices,” added Kisun.
The strong turnout on the inaugural day not only showcases the community’s confidence in the Shop N Save brand but also highlights a bright future for retail in Nausori. “This demonstrates the trust that the residents of Nausori have in us, and we’re dedicated to delivering value through high-quality products and competitive pricing,” he emphasized.
With the new supermarket now operational, Kisun also shared that Shop N Save has plans for several projects set to launch in 2026 and the years after, indicating a hopeful and positive trajectory for the retail landscape in Fiji.
