When Tara Ben decided to set up a small canteen in the heart of Nausori almost 40 years ago, she had no idea that the business would grow to become a major supermarket in the riverside town.
What began as a means to provide food on the table for her family has become the most popular shopping outlet not only for the people of Rewa, but also for Tailevu and Naitasiri as well.
Tara’s Supermarket Pte Ltd director Mahendra Patel said his mother’s dream had been a blessing to the family. “Thanks to my mum Tara Ben’s vision in 1982, we have all this,” he said.
