Dale Elliot of “Untold Stories” was dumbfounded during the making of the documentary "Unbridled Ambition", to
hear the CEO of RG Group of Companies describe Rayneau Construction and
Industrial Products Ltd, Corinth branch as a warehouse. "This is a hell of a warehouse." He chuckled. Mr Gajadhar went on to explain to Dale,”The
reason for that is St Lucia did not provide all the necessities for a
contractor. So what I actually did at the beginning was create a well-stocked warehouse
and to pay for my warehouse cost I am selling to customers to make a small
profit." (See Video below)
But, what exactly is a WAREHOUSE? We bet a lot of
you cannot give a spot-on definition if asked about it. Can you? Well if you
answer YES, good for you. You may stop reading at this point. Just kidding!
Bear with us, if you can.
If your answer is NO, then obviously, you need to
read on.
Warehouse is a Middle English word dating back to 1300–50; According
to Cambridge Business Dictionary, the term ”warehouse” means a large building for storing things before
they are sold, used, or sent out to stores. Dictionary.com defines it as a large retail store or a building in which wholesalers keep large stocks of merchandise, which they
display and sell to retailers. What is the common denominator among the
definitions given above? BUILDING. Warehouse pertains to a building. For what
specifically? Well this is where the variation sets in.
A lot of establishments belonging to different
industries have adapted the term warehouse to help them give out the message of
comprehensiveness or completeness. The usage of the term is aimed to denote the
complete availability of products under just one roof. Well, it may not hold
true for all warehouses, but for Construction, this is what
drove Ray to inform Dale that RCIP (Corinth) is “….the warehouse for my Construction Company.”
Rayneau is a one-stop shop – everything
under just one roof. An array of products ranging from electrical, plumbing,
construction, down to finishing materials
are offered to customers. Everything you can think of related to constructions
and homes —- Rayneau has it all.
Is the word ‘warehouse’ still mind-boggling for
you? Because, if it still is, then we encourage you to visit Rayneau. Allow us
to help you get a more concrete feel and understanding of what a warehouse is.
