A $2 million Samad Family shopping complex located in the heart of Savusavu Town will have its official opening in June.

It is an extension to the existing building which facilities the Bank South (BSP) Bank.

The owners are Irshad Samad and Ansari Samad, sons of the late Haji Abdul Samad, former Morris Hedstrom (MH) manager of Savusavu branch.

Irshad Samad said the bottom floor would have seven outlets while the first floor would have six outlets.

He said: “This week Value City has opened its clothing business in our complex and slowly other businesses such as money exchange, jewellery shop, beauty salon, food court, furniture shop, mobile phone outlet, optometrist and photoshop would open.”

“The double-storey complex in L-shape is equipped with safety features of 13.8mm glass which is a requirement for cyclone resistance.”

Mr Samad revealed that there was a delay in the full opening of the mall because they are waiting for Fiji Electricity Authority work to be done.

“This complex would create more than 50 job opportunities,” he said.

“Moreover, it will add a different value to the town of Hidden Paradise and bring lot of opportunities to the people of Cakaudrove in terms of shopping and relaxation.”
