Jamaica Stock Exchange – Junior Market

The only constant here at CPJ is change. Indeed, the most significant among the changes was the Company’s listing on the Junior Stock Exchange in July 2011. CPJ’s IPO has been described as the most successful listing on the Exchange to-date, and we would like to sincerely thank our new shareholders and other business partners for the confidence that they have shown in the Company.

Having raised $420,000,000.00 in Capital, CPJ has immediately embarked upon its expansion mission outlined in the IPO Prospectus. We expect to open our flagship CPJ Market Store in Kingston during the second quarter 2012, and shortly after began production at our state-of-the-art Food-Processing Plant currently under construction in Montego Bay.
