A BRAND new four-burner stove was on Saturday donated to the St. Barnabas Special School by the family-owned American Stores Limited, located at the corner of Regent Road and Cummings Street, Bourda. 

The store which prides itself on being about more than sales, donated the much needed stove in observance of its one-year anniversary in Guyana.
Human Resources Manager, Mischa Ferraz said that the store is committed to and cares about Guyana and giving back to the community. They previously donated toys for the school’s Christmas party and will continue to support the school.

NEW STORE BRANCHES
She also said the response by the store’s customers has been so good that they have decided to expand in Guyana and new branches will soon be opened.
Miss Pattenson, a teacher at the St. Barnabas Special School which is situated next to American Stores, received the donation on behalf of the school. She said the donated stove will come in handy for the school to teach their students cooking skills.
She also mentioned that the stove will be helpful during the Christmas season to provide baked goodies for the students. The store, from time to time, helps the school in whatever way they can, and for this, she said, they are very grateful.
Meanwhile, customers at the store were not forgotten in the celebrations as they were offered a 10% storewide discount on all cash purchases for the day, in addition to giveaways and refreshments and treats.
A 10% discount on credit purchases storewide, with nothing down required in the month of December is inclusive of the store’s Christmas promotions.

NA AMERICAN STORES BRANCH
Country Manager of American Stores, Steve Nauth said that their customers in Berbice will have the advantage of a store closer to home as they will be opening the 11 Strand, New Amsterdam Branch. Their customers on that day will have the opportunity to “Spin the Wheel” to get up to 50% off their purchases.
There are two branches of the American Stores established in Guyana – one on the corner of Regent Road and Cummings Street and the other on Durban Street in Lodge. There are also plans for a Linden branch.
The American Stores has been in existence since 1950, meeting the needs of customers for quality furniture and appliances for over 60 years in Trinidad and Tobago and Guyana.
