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]
Operations
JTA has shops in Carlton Centre, Cross Crossing, Marabella, and Couva, each of 20,000–30,000 square feet.[1] The company is involved in a $500m project in the south of Trinidad to build a complex that will include another JTA branch and other facilities.[3][4][5]
People
JTA is family owned and run. Christopher Mack (grandson of Carlton K. Mack) is the managing director and Carl Mack is the executive chairman. The company accountant is Kenny Rampersad.[4]
2015 FIFA corruption case
JTA has become embroiled in the 2015 FIFA corruption case with the BBC claiming that $4,860,000 paid to Jack Warner by the South African Football Association to develop football in the Caribbean found its way to JTA.[6]
