Some time back while in the village of Lethem, Rupununi Savanna, Guyana,<\/a> I incidentally ran into my friend Ken, who happens to be the owner of Ken’s General Store in St. Ignatius Village, Rupununi Savannas, Guyana.<\/p>\n

The words somehow leaped out of my mouth “when are you going to Boa Vista again?”<\/p>\n

Ken normally goes every week or two to Boa Vista to purchase stocks for his store.<\/p>\n

“Tomorrow morning,” he answered.<\/p>\n

“What time?”<\/p>\n

“Seven O Clock in the morning”<\/p>\n

“And what time are you returning?”<\/p>\n

“Early”.<\/p>\n

I had been having an urge to go to Boa Vista to look into some businesses <\/a>for quite some time, so I asked “can you take me with you”?<\/p>\n

“Sure, Ill pick you up at seven”.<\/p>\n

On his word, Ken picked me up at the time specified. The ride from Lethem <\/a>to Boa Vista is approximately 100 km. When we arrived in the city of Boa Vista, the taxi pulled up at a small cafe for “breakfast”.<\/p>\n

After that we went about our business<\/a>. The next stop was Friotrans Wholesale Depot in Boa Vista, Roraima, Brazil<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I was amazed at the number of Guyanese I saw at this wholesale store purchasing dry goods and groceries for their stores in Lethem<\/a>. This commercial center turns out to be the number one place both Brazilians and Guyanese go to get Brazilian items at wholesale prices.<\/p>\n

So, if I ever decide to open a store or supermarket in Lethem <\/a>or its proximity, I now know where to go for Brazilian goods.<\/p>\n

Friotrans is located at:<\/p>\n

Av. Sao Sebastiao, 3026 – ASA BRANCA
\nBoa Vista, Roraima, Brazil.
\nTel: (95) 3626 – 3943
\n(95) 3627 – 4779<\/p>\n
