Giftland Mall to have British styled pub

Britannia Pubs Guyana (BPG) Inc and MCG Investments, Turkeyen signed a MOU and licensing agreement on December 20, a release from Giftland OfficeMax said.

The release said that accountant Bobby Prashad, director of BPG and an experienced licensed bar operator in Florida, USA, stated that his company is excited to bring the British pub experience to Guyana at Giftland Mall.  He said that the cultural bonds shared between Guyana and Britain makes this an ideal opportunity for Guyanese and British expatriates to enjoy ‘a home away from home’.   There will be several British beers poured from the tap as well as hearty pub favourites such as steak and kidney pie, pork pies, banger and mash and cold cuts.  Lovely lasses will be dressed in traditional wenches’ outfits to complete the “Ole British Pub” effect.

This will be an ideal opportunity for patrons to enjoy a relaxed pub experience, which will be recreated in a traditional dark oak wood decor.  An international designer will be planning the layout for this pub which will feature many of the traditional pub activities such as dart competitions etc., the release added.

The pub joins a list of international names which have been screened and carefully chosen, and that adhere to Giftland’s rigid international standards that have signed on to the Giftland Mall. These include Churches Chicken, Mario’s, Quiznos and Caribbean Cinemas among many others.  It is expected that the mall will soon be announcing other major companies which are currently in the pipeline to join this venture, the release said.

According to the release, Ian Ramdeo stated that with the current signings and the ones being negotiated, that the mall is over 80% filled and expects all concessions  to be fully taken up by time of opening.  Persons or companies interested in any of the concessions at the mall can send their expressions of interest to: mall@giftlandofficemac.com .
