JTA Supermarkets Limited is a chain of supermarkets in Trinidad and Tobago.
History
The firm grew out of a small grocery store at 100 High Street, San Fernando run by Carlton K. Mack for the Allum family. By the 1950s, Mack had taken control of the whole business which he ran as Allum's Supermarket from 1967 to 1988. It became JTA Supermarkets in 1988 and is a subsidiary of J.T. Allum & Co. Limited.[1][2]
On October 4th, 2019, the JT Allum Group of Companies was bestowed the Keys to the City of San Fernando by the mayor, Junia Regrello. The Mayor remarked, "The symbolism of the key to the city is rooted in trust, honour and the recognition of commitment and respect shown to those who were given this auspicious honour. Persons who have bestowed the keys to the city are considered to be true friends who would seek the interest of the city and its inhabitants. In this regard, there can be no greater exemplars who personify these ideals than the JT Allum Company and the Mack Family." The JT Allum Group of Companies has been part of the landscape of San Fernando for 85 continuous years and is one of the oldest business groups in T&T. The JT Allum Group is committed to upholding its corporate social responsibility for the advancement of the city of San Fernando.
