What I know about Massy:

• It’s a chain of supermarkets in Barbados
• They seem to have other businesses than groceries: there’s a pharmacy, some homeware, and I’m pretty sure I’ve seen Massy Realty
• I’ve heard it started in Trinidad

What I’m learning about Massy right now through research:

• It was indeed started in Trinidad and Tobago over 90 years ago
  • According to ChatGPT this was specifically in 1922, by Sir George Alwyn Haynes, as a small grocery store. I can’t fact-check this with a quick Google, which means I’m particularly impressed with ChatGPT if true
• Massy Group is a holding company, with holdings in a few main verticals: Gas Products (Massy Gas Products, Massy Energy); Integrated Retail (Massy Stores, Massy Distribution, Massy Trading); Motors & Machines (Massy Motors, Massy Machinery, Massy CAT) and Financial Services (Massy Finance). There’s also Massy Properties, which includes Massy Realty—I’m not sure which main line that fits into if any.
• They operate in several countries across the Caribbean, and Colombia and South Florida
• They’re publicly traded on the Trinidad and Tobago Stock Exchange
• 13,000+ employees, 60+ companies, almost US$2B revenue
• They have a Learning Institute for helping with people’s personal growth
