A One-Stop Shop for Northern Fiji
Located in the heart of Labasa, the new facility brings Vinod Patel, Home & Living, and the FinanceHub Business Centre together under one roof. This unique retail destination offers customers a complete ecosystem of building materials, home furnishings, and flexible finance options, all designed to meet the evolving needs of families, tradespeople, and businesses across the Macuata Province.
From quality hardware and construction essentials to stylish home décor, appliances, and furniture, the expanded store format introduces a significantly wider product range along with improved accessibility and convenience. High-rack displays, inspired by the Group’s flagship CentrePoint store, elevate product visibility, while Home & Living’s elegantly curated room setups provide customers with inspiration for creating beautiful, comfortable living spaces.
Finance Made Simple with FinanceHub
Beyond retail, the Co-Located Store integrates the FinanceHub Business Centre on Level 1, giving Northern customers easy access to hire purchase facilities, small unsecured loans, and motor vehicle finance. Whether building a new home, renovating, or upgrading household essentials, customers can now explore products and secure financing in one seamless experience.
A Modern Retail Experience for Labasa
According to Home & Living CEO, Mr. Jatin Patel, the new store was designed to align with modern retail expectations:
“Our focus is on providing customers with a better shopping experience through improved store design, wider product ranges and greater comfort.”
The relocation from the former premises marks a significant upgrade, combining the strengths of multiple divisions to deliver a complete, future-ready home and building solution for the North.
Vinod Patel CEO, Mr. Rahul Amin, also highlighted the Group’s deeper mission:
“We believe every Fijian deserves access to modern retail environments regardless of location. This investment in Labasa reflects our long-term commitment as a private sector partner in Fiji’s economic growth.”
Strengthening Presence Across Northern Fiji
The opening of the Labasa Co-Located Store is part of the Group’s broader strategy to enhance retail access throughout Fiji. Vinod Patel, Home & Living, and FinanceHub continue to serve customers through their existing locations in Savusavu Town and Taveuni, ensuring that communities across the islands receive high-quality products and services.
Enhanced Digital Shopping Experience
In addition to physical expansion, the Group recently launched its revamped online store, www.vinodpatel.com.fj, offering improved convenience for customers who prefer to shop digitally or reside in more remote areas.
