30 people now have a new job as Vinod Patel’s 19th branch will open in Tebara Plaza, Nakasi where 40 percent or 12 are women and the team will be managed by a female brand manager.

They say the new store offers a convenient and modern shopping experience for customers within the Valelevu to Nausori corridor.

Vinod Patel CEO Rahul Amin says they have been wanting to establish a branch in Nakasi due to frequent requests from customers and an evident business case.
