Vincent, Haiti, and Curacao, often at the request of local governments. Whenever we get the call to help, and we have the funds, we do it,” stresses Paladee.” The company also provides other forms of aid, such as providing wheelchairs to those in need. “If we find out that somebody needs a wheelchair, we get the information, and we just show up with it. They don’t know where we came from. They didn’t even request it, but we just found out that there’s a case, and they get it, and we never look back,” he discloses. “It’s only a matter of time before people start finding out,” Paladee admits.“But we don’t want it to be that we do this for any benefit financially. We just think it’s our grace that God chose us to do this type of work, and we are the instrument that he is using to do these things.” LOOKING AHEAD As Pennywise continues to expand, plans include a new warehouse and a potential third mall in northern Trinidad. “People have been asking us to open Pennywise stores throughout the Caribbean, because it’s a brand that’s known, even though we only have a footprint in Trinidad,” says Paladee. “Probably our biggest challenge right now in doing business in Trinidad is there’s a massive foreign exchange shortage, so looking elsewhere in the Caribbean might be able to help ease that a bit.The thing is, we want to make sure that we are stable here first.” Whatever lies ahead, Pennywise Cosmetics is poised to continue offering affordable products and exceptional customer service, while contributing to a bright future in Trinidad.
