RENOWNED Rakiraki businessman George Shiu Raj has achieved another business milestone to his wide range of businesses with the recent opening of the GSR complex.

The $6 million George Shiu Raj complex is located at the Waimicia business centre on the Kings Road in Nalawa district.

It houses several key businesses for the G.S Raj Investment Group, including Shop Plus Supermarket, Foodies Delight Restaurant and Dough Dreams Bakery.

Officiating at the event, Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka said the newly opened George Shiu Raj Complex would play a vital role in expanding economic growth and shared development across Ra and Rakiraki, while strengthening regional development in the Western Division.

“This is about unlocking opportunities, stimulating economic activity and advancing the shared aspirations of the people of Ra and all Fijians,” he said.

“I must commend the foresight and commitment displayed by Mr George Shiu Raj in advancing our collective vision for sustained regional development and prosperity.”

The Prime Minister reaffirmed the government’s commitment to decenstralising economic opportunities beyond major urban centres, saying centres like Nalawa have the potential to become key business hubs.

“When businesses thrive here, they generate jobs, increase household incomes, and support the wellbeing of families in the wider region, a thriving Ra means a stronger, more resilient Fiji.”
