BUSINESS UPDATE
Significant progress has been made at both new stores under construction. The construction of OMHI's new 34,000 square foot supermarket in Fat Hogs Bay (East End) British Virgin Islands (BVI) is expected to be completed by the end of 2021. The store will be similar to the company's first store, but larger so it can offer even more goods, including food, clothing, appliances, furniture, electronics and general household items - everything shoppers need for one stop shopping. It will provide adequate parking compared to its competitors in the area.
The company's new store concept, OM Builders Depot, will be in Port Purcell, near the main port and the capital Road Town on Tortola, BVI. OM Builders Depot will comprise 15,000 square feet and will provide building materials, hardware and tools, home appliances, cement, paint and plumbing supplies to builders and contractors. White sand, gravel, rebars, blocks and lumber will be available for purchase outside the building.
OMHI has signed a long-term lease on an acre of property for the Builders Depot store - its land costs are minimal, and the company expects significant profits and growth from this store. Builders Depot is 200 feet from the first OneMart and several miles from the new store, where construction is underway. OM Builders Depot building, and inventory will cost $3 million. This store is expected to add $5 million in sales to the OMHI Group in the first 9 months (December 2021 - August 2022) and over $500,000 dollars in operating profits.
