Any patron can approach any of the officers on duty to receive guided information. Also on our team is Pilot Management Services who ensures that the interior of our mall is clean and tidy. When guests leave Sheraton Mall, they should leave with the intention of returning - even if it’s just for an ice cream cone.” “Also, our location and our times give us com- petitive advantage,” King adds. “We are located away from Bridgetown; away from the hustle and bustle, and not far from the coast activities.We are on the bus route, so we’re easily accessible. We have a variety of products on offer and, unlike most shopping areas in Barbados, we also have convenient hours; most stores close at five. But for folks who leave work at five or six, we have a couple of additional hours where they can shop at Sheraton because we’re open from nine until nine, Monday thru Saturday.” While catering mostly to local shoppers, King says that, recently, the Mall has begun reaching out more to tourists. “We have launched a shuttle service, and we do see a number of tourists com- ing to Sheraton, but our demographic is mainly made up of locals.We cater to families and every single person is a part of a family. So whether you PREFERRED VENDOR n S.A.F.E.

Currently there are only two vacancies, which she hopes to have filled very soon, and “when we fill up, that’s it,” she declares. “We’re not looking to expand anytime soon.We continue to have a low turnover of tenants, which means we’re doing something right.”
