Courts Jamaica Limited, the country's leading furniture and appliance retail company, has refurbished its Brown's Town store in St. Ann, creating more display space for its stock.

Courts, which spent $8 million on the project, has done similar improvements to two other outlets in the 29-store chain.

The other two stores, including a branch in Christiana, Manchester, were also renovated, at a cost of $18 million, and reopened in April, Wednesday Business was advised.

UPGRADE

The Brown Town's store, which employs 17 people, was first opened in 1982. The store's 5,200 square-foot of space was reconfigured and the air-conditioning system upgraded. Courts said it had no immediate plans to expand the chain, whose annual sales top $6 billion.

The new investment in refittings follows the acquisition of the furniture company by the Siman family.

There are no immediate plans to expand the chain, Courts said Tuesday.
