Premium Eats is a newly branded hypermarket, offering grocery, household, electrical, and clothing items under one roof. The shopping concept was developed by a business-oriented couple, Jia Hui Young and Serenity Kanhai, after observing major departmental stores around the world.
As a supermarket that caters to everyone, Premium Eats provides discounts for service men and women, senior citizens, budgeted families, and many more groups. They also have a loyalty programme where customers can gain points on their transactions to receive gifts and rewards.

Premium Eats, located Lot 9 Leonora Public Road, West Coast Demerara, obliquely opposite Leonora Police Station opened its doors to the public on Saturday.
Premium Eats is co-owned by an interracial, interfaith couple from very distinct cultural backgrounds.
Jia Hui Young, a 30-year-old trilingual businessman and certified aeronautical engineer was born to parents who emigrated from Guangzhou, Guangdong, China, 33 years ago. At the age of 17, Young was appointed manager of a mining company in Guyana.
There, he gained extensive knowledge as a purchasing manager and negotiator. Young also credits his hardworking parents as his first teachers and explained that working with them in his early years gave him the skills and motivation needed to open a business of his own.
To complete the duo is Serenity Kanhai, a 24-year-old business consultant with a Bachelor’s in Law and Master’s in Commercial Law. She was born in Georgetown, Guyana to loving and hardworking parents who also modelled a family-owned company. Kanhai exercises her knowledge in the commercial/business world and manages Kanhai’s Electrical & Variety Store, a supplier of residential, commercial, and industrial electrical components in Georgetown.
Young and Kanhai opened their first company four years ago called Young Leaders Trading Specialists and began importing and exporting products for businesses across Guyana such as medical supplies, stationery, hardware, electrical, and fresh and frozen foods.
Now they have the capacity to operate a supermarket and have chosen to expand their portfolio with Premium Eats.
