‘Tropical Stones’ opens its doors in Pockwood Pond









The store will be offering cabinetry, windows and doors in a wide variety of tastes and styles and from a range of quality manufacturers. It will also be offering a wide assortment of tiles.
Speaking at the opening yesterday, Operations Manager Marlon M. Choucoutou said he looks forward to serving the community. “I have had the opportunity to do that for 16 years before I decided to step up the pace,” he said to a small gathering of friends, relatives and well-wishers.
“So here am I today ready to serve you,” he said.
Speaking at the event, Representative for the First District Honourable Andrew A. Fahie, offered his congratulations to Mr Choucoutou for bringing his business idea from thought to finish.
“I just want to congratulate Mr Choucoutou and this business venture, I know he has been working on it for quite a while,” he said.
“He has been in this business for many years, ordering windows, tiles. But now he has moved to not only doing the ordering of them but also the installation and many other aspects,” said Hon Fahie.
According to Hon Fahie, the venture is important to the economy of the Territory since it will provide jobs and he expressed hopes for its expansion in due course.
“I just want to encourage him to do his best…it is good to know that he has ventured out into the business world with faith given the global economic challenges,” he said.
Speaking at the opening, Representative for the Third District Honourable Julian Fraser RA commended the business for its insistence on quality products.
“I want everyone here to take a good look around and notice the quality in this establishment…he invested in it. This is not one of those fly by night operations. He is not one of those tenants who will just pick up on Monday morning and walk out, because he has made a tremendous investment here,” he said.
“I have no doubt in my mind that leading by example there will be a lot of followers. Don’t worry about pricing. Price is not the problem…service is the problem and as long as you understand that you are here to serve you will be successful,” Hon Fraser said.
