Massy Stores is spending thousands of dollars every week to ensure the health and safety of customers and won’t be closing the supermarket at Worthing, Christ Church.
Managing director Randall Banfield acknowledged the problems with the South Coast sewage constituted a “national crisis”, but said there were hundreds of people working every day to mitigate the effects.
“Can you imagine if all the businesses on the South Coast closed down what a disaster that would be for Barbados?” Banfield asked during an exclusive interview with the WEEKEND NATION at the Sargeant’s Village, Christ Church corporate headquarters.
“We would never compromise the safety of our customers or staff for economic reasons. What we are doing here are all the steps to ensure that hygiene levels and sanitary conditions at our Massy Store in Worthing are maintained to our standard and to the satisfaction of the Ministry of Health.”
Last week, community activist Adrian Donovan called for the closure of the major supermarket. (SAT)
