No need for Kentucky when we have Scato's! - resident
“Everything that needs to be done in this country can be done by locals,” the resident argued on the Umoja show on September 26, 2013.
“I remember some time ago somebody was talking about the possibility of having Kentucky Fried Chicken coming to the BVI. Why do we want Kentucky Fried here? What would happen to our Scato's?” he asked.
“When these guys [large companies] come here and they make their ton load of money, that’s not going to be spent in our community, that’s gone money,” the resident said.
He stated, “You cannot bring a Home Depot into our community and expect that when Home Depot makes their money it will circulate like Clarence Thomas, it’s not going to happen.”
The resident added, when giant companies are brought in, it signals destruction for every Virgin Islander.
“I don’t know when we will get the message,” he said while stating that there are some out there who would argue, ‘Oh, let Home Depot come, Oh let Kentucky Fried [Chicken] come’.
“What are you talking about my friend, do you understand what you’re talking about; if you understand what you’re talking about you won’t say that.”
He continued that the territory could not afford to allow these ‘massive companies’ to come to the Territory.
Co-host of the programme Natalio Wheatley aka Sowande Uhuru said he loved it when brothers and sisters who may not have their ancestry or roots here become patriots and come out in defence of the territory.
“What some people don’t realise sometimes is that some of the policies that we’re here defending, when you become a part officially, these will protect you and they will protect your children, so don’t fight against it,” he said.

read this on another site, yesterday, but who eva say them big brands want to come here ???????
I m sure if KFC come here, they will employ a lot more staff than Scotto's and pay better wages.
I saw S***nde in KFC one time while in STT..
Scato chicken is not like before in those days it was good I don't know what happen now and some of the wokers are r..e
s*** to DAMN expensives!!!!!
What are people in this territory afraid of? Competition? Man come on, competition is healthy, and it is a necessary tool to improve services and prices. Scatos is in business longer than I been on this earth, and they don't see it fit to improve the place to make their customers comfortable. I refuse to take my family to Scatos to sit and eat. Now, the Home Depot issue. I went go a local hardware to buy a French window, and the price was $350. I went to Home Depot in St. Thomas and the same window was $104. Nuff said. St. Thomas is a nice 40 minutes boat ride, so I will pay my $10 departure tax, my $45 boat fare and go to Home Depot, and to KFC for my bucket of KFC. The business people here want to be a monopoly so that they can push any thing down people throats. Scato chicken too expensive, the place needs a make over, and the hardware stores don't carry a variety, and what they carry you need a bank loan to buy. People stop living in the dark ages, nothing is wrong with Change, and nothing is wrong with Competition.
Not to mention the biscuits...
