Businessman and Fourth District Representative Honourable Mark H. Vanterpool and his wife Mrs Judith E. Vanterpool, along with some of the supermarket's staff, celebrated the milestone at the New Testament Church of God International Worship Centre in Baughers Bay on Sunday, November 21, 2021.

Hon Vanterpool also made a $5,000 donation to the church.

“We would also like to present a little token of our appreciation to the New Testament Church of God for being with us over the years,” Hon Vanterpool said.

The One mart staff then led the church in a special rendition of “I give you thanks.”

The business, located at Purcell Easte, was founded by Mark and Judith Vanterpool and their family and is now a leading foodservice provider for hotels, restaurants, yacht provisioning and groceries.

Another One Mart store is being built in East End.
