The launching of P Meghji’s Grand Warehouse Sale in Suva on Tuesday evening was a testament to the company’s struggle, perseverance, hardship and living through what was a period of toil, tears.

Speaking during the launch, the company’s executive director Romit Meghji said their success story to launch yet another new product, which was the Grand Warehouse Sale.

It came about despite the worst business climate that any entrepreneur would think of living through.

Present during the launch were the Speaker of Parliament, Ratu Epeli Nailatikau and Minister for Commerce, Trade, Tourism and Transport, Faiyaz Koya.

Investment
The company also introduced their investment of a sanitising defence system which has been implemented at the Suva Fresh Choice Supermarket.

“I am referring to COVID-19 and the high degree of business negativism that the pandemic has brought to all of us,” Mr Meghji said.

“It is indeed an opportunity for P Meghji Group of Companies to live through and make true that favorite saying -when the going gets tough, the tough gets going.”

“From its humble beginnings 40 years ago when granddad decided to separate his entity from the rest of the extended family core business, this function this evening speaks volume of our families’ struggle.”

“In short we are merely seeing granddad’s vision of yesteryear coming into solid fruition this evening.”

He said for the first time in their proud history and in the midst of recovering from the devastation caused by COVID-19, the company was proud to bring to Suva their Grand Warehouse Sale.

P Meghji is synonymous with bringing to Fiji top brand wines from around the globe, a large variety alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages and since opening their premium supermarket Fresh Choice they have ventured into quality food and non-food items.

“With this Grand Warehouse Sale, we would like to bring to our Suva customers top range wines, alcoholic and non alcoholic beverages, food and non-food products at prices that can never be repeated or matched.”

“In light of COVID 19 and the new norm we all have to adapt to and the wellbeing of P Meghji staff and more importantly safety of our customers, we are also proud to announce our investment in a global leading air purification and sanitising defence system.”

Roll out
He said this has been implemented in Suva Fresh Choice Supermarket and was being rolled out at their Denarau and Lautoka head office outlets and warehouses.

“This initiative in the NASA engineered ActivePure technology is in addition to our ongoing commitment with the current MoH/MCTTT safe business re-opening protocols to adhere strictly to COVID19 safety requirements.”

“We have also taken measures to protect our Grand Warehouse Sale premises to allow a safe and comfortable shopping experience.”

Mr Meghji also acknowledged Jayanti Meghji being awarded the Commemorative medal for Fiji’s 50th anniversary of independence from President Jioji Konrote.
