Cole Bay:--- Several dignitaries and members of the business community joined the Al Yousef family at the grand opening of the Ashleys Furniture Homestore in Cole Bay St. Maarten on Wednesday night. The Al Yousef family have been doing business on St. Maarten for years as they started off with Ace Liteline in Philipsburg then advanced to Ace Home Center in Cay Hill then expanded to Ace Mega Center.
At the Ace Stores, the Al Yousef family began selling Ashley's Furniture some years ago. To mark the grand opening the owners made donations to two foundations on St. Maarten, are K1 Britania and the Mental Health Foundation.
However, their main intention was to open an Ashleys Furniture Homestore on St. Maarten but they encountered several setbacks due to Hurricane Irma and the COVID -19 world pandemic. Despite the challenges, the Al Yousef family managed to complete their mission by having one of the largest Ashley Furniture Store in the Caribbean.
Member of Parliament Sarah Wescot Williams congratulated the businessmen for the courage and faith they have in St. Maarten despite the pandemic and economic downturn. Wescot Williams said while the island may be in a dip economically the island remains sophisticated which she said will contribute to tourism shopping.
Ashleys Furniture regional manager who was present for the grand opening said he visited the island some years ago and offered Ace the opportunity. He said that Ashley started in 1945 in Wescoin USA. Their mission is to have the largest and best furniture on the island of St. Maarten.
Sami Al Yousef thanked everyone including his brother, nephew who placed their all in getting the store built and furnished for the grand opening.
The ribbon-cutting was done by Prime Minister Silveria Jacobs, Sami, and Yusuf Al Yousef owners of the Ashleys Furniture Homestore St. Maarten.
