THE Imran Ally Shopping Complex, an over $300 million hardware and variety store, was officially opened on Sunday at Enmore Estate Road.
The store is expected to significantly support the construction and housing sector, provide employment on the East Coast, as well as contribute to the development of the country at large.
Proprietor for the business, Imran Ally, who delivered a moving address, shared that his vision for the business has been years in the making.
“It has been really, really tough. This building took us three years to finish, and it has been a tough task. We work day and night sometimes. As I stand here and I speak to you, I’m a businessman, but I have also been a driver, a porter, a mason, a plumber, a painter. I’ve had to be everything here,” an emotional Ally shared.
Situated on 46,000 square feet of land, the shopping complex provides construction material in addition to furniture, appliances, fixtures and fittings and services; almost all the household needs under one roof.
“Our aim is for when a customer steps into this building, their house must complete; they must have everything, from the smallest of item to the largest of item; from a grain of sand to as big as a 25-ft zinc sheet,” Ally expressed.
