Starting this week, the residents of Es Migjorn will be able to buy fresh fish in their town again. Next Friday, March 21, San Crispín will launch a new weekly fishmonger service in its store on Avinguda Binicudrell, an activity that had already been provisionally started in 2017 when we carried out the expansion of the store, but which will now be able to be provided definitively.
The new service will take place every Friday in the morning from 8.30 to 14.00, so that all members and residents of the town can buy fresh produce. The one in charge of offering the new service will be Peixateria Raquel, which is also responsible for serving fish at the Central d'Alaior. It will have an assortment of fresh produce from Menorca from the fish markets of Maó, Ciutadella as well as boats from Fornells but also fish from outside the island.
With this opening, the Cooperativa San Crispín manages to realize one of the objectives set by its Governing Council to be able to improve the services that its members and customers of Es Migjorn receive. If the demand generated is sufficient, work will be done with the desire to consolidate the service in order to be able to open more days a week.
OWNED PREMISES
The opening of this fishmonger service takes place after San Crispín has also recently been able to acquire the entirety of the store that it had been renting on Avinguda Binicudrell in the municipality and which, in this way, has become part of the entity's assets. We remember that it is a premises of almost 400 square meters, of which we already owned two thirds and which in 2017, was able to expand with the annexation of another adjacent premises for which it had been paying rent. Three years ago, a purchase option was negotiated that has now been materialized with the aim of incorporating the entire premises under its ownership
In order to carry out the operation, the entity has formalized a fifteen-year mortgage loan with a similar installment to the one it had been paying until now, but which when it finishes paying, will allow it to be the owner. “As happened with the new store in Alaior, an operation has been carried out designed to make our entity a patrimonial entity and also as a sign of commitment to our members, especially with all those we have in Es Migjorn” explained its president, Belly Ester.
With this latest acquisition, San Crispín now owns all the premises it operates in both Alaior and Es Migjorn, thus increasing its patrimonial solvency.
