Up until now it may well have been one of Buxton’s best-kept entrepreneurial secrets. These days, however, Primo’s Sewing Establishment is doing its own fair share to attract business to a community which, not so long ago had been marked down as one of the more troubled communities in coastal Guyana.
What this modest sewing establishment reflects is an attempt to kick-start enterprise in the face of adversity; it makes the point, emphatically, that where opportunity is provided Buxton can rise to such challenges as are set before it.
The significance of Primo’s tailoring establishment reposes in its links to Buxton – from the symbol of enterprise through which it seeks to set a community example, to its role not only in providing employment for eight members of the community but also in what has become its subsidized services to adults and children, alike, in Buxton. It opens its doors for business each weekday from 08:00 hrs. to 16:00 hrs.
