This
is
the
biggest
supermarket
chain
in
Barbados
but
size
does
not
guarantee
quality.
Massy
Stores
promise
much
but
constantly
under-deliver.
This
location
was
completely
rebuild
and
reopened
in
2019
but
in
spite
of
a
modern
look
and
feel,
the
store
is
disappointing
to
anyone
seeking
the
kind
of
assured
quality
expected
by
the
more
affluent
villa
owners
along
the
west
coast
of
the
island.
Instead,
the
catering
is
middle
market
with
no
consious
effort
to
accommodate
a
more
discerning
palate
for
those
desiring
gourmet
choices.
The
purchasing
strategy
seems
to
ignore
that
opportunity
and
instead
positions
itself
for
those
requiring
less
sophicated
menus.
By
way
of
an
expanded
example,
there
is
no
diabetic
or
sugar
free
section
to
help
address
the
section
of
the
island
population
suffering
from
diabetes.
By
extension,
there
has
been
no
effort
made
to
focus
in
on
specialisation
in
any
of
the
other
related
areas
throughout
this
store.
Massy
would
benefit
by
taking
a
page
from
outlets
such
as
Whole
Foods
in
the
USA,
wherein
the
management
of
food
retail
has
been
established
as
an
art
form
at
the
highest
international
level.
Having
said
that,
you
can
find
a
reasonable
selection
here.
Just
not
the
more
specialised
product
lines
expected
by
those
looking
for
a
more
refined
selection.
And
in
that
regard,
I
think
they
clearly
missed
the
boat.
What
a
shame.
