Rupert Roberts is the owner of Super Value, a prominent supermarket chain in The Bahamas. He gained media attention after Super Value's recent initiative to import low-priced eggs, which resulted in a remarkable demand and chaotic scenes in stores as customers rushed to purchase them. Roberts described the situation as a 'gamble' that paid off, as the reduced price of eggs significantly shifted consumer purchasing habits from other staples to high-protein options. His commitment to enhancing food accessibility for Bahamians has made him a notable figure in the local business landscape.
