Digicel customers continue to reap the benefits from being with the Bigger, Better Network

27th August, 2010 - St. Georges: Digicel, Grenada's Bigger, Better Network, in partnership with Foodland, your family’s favourite food store, today announced details of an exciting new promotion - the Digicel Supermarket Sweep - which kicks off on August 27th and runs for nine weeks until October 31st.

For each of those nine weeks - one lucky customer will be randomly selected to take part in a grocery shopping spree at Foodland Supermarkets. The aim of the game is to grab as many grocery items as possible - to the value of EC$500. Additionally, two customers each week will win EC$100 Digicel top up or credit.

The draw for the grand prize will take place on November 3rd, where three lucky customers will be selected out of every single entry made over the previous nine weeks. The first customer to be selected will win the grand prize of EC$500 worth of groceries every month for the next twelve months. The second lucky winner will win EC$300 worth of groceries and the third customer will win EC$200 worth of groceries each month for the next twelve months.


To enter the Digicel Supermarket Sweep, prepaid customers can simply top up by EC$20 - at any one time - to be entered into the draw. Any form of top up is eligible for the Digicel Supermarket Sweep Promotion including Online Top Up. For postpaid customers who pay their bill in full - and for every EC$20 within that payment - they will be eligible for two entries into the draw.

"This can be an expensive time of year for families with children who are getting ready to go back to school, so we are delighted to be able to help in any way we can. The Digicel Supermarket Sweep should go a long way towards filling up those lunch boxes and we hope that the contestants have some fun taking part in this exciting promotion," said Patricia Maher Country Manager. "This is just another way that we at Digicel can give value back to our customers."


“Everyday we hear from our customers how tough things are especially now that all attention and money is focused on the new school year. This initiative of Digicel is therefore very thoughtful and timely. In keeping with our policy of offering good food and ongoing extra special bargains, Foodland is therefore thrilled to partner with Digicel and to host the Supermarket Sweep Promotion,” said Marc Chow Chung, Divisional Manager, Foodland Supermarkets. “We wish all entrants the very best of luck – study our shelves well!”  

Live draws to announce the weekly winners of the Digicel Supermarket Sweep will take place every Friday morning at 2pm am on WEEFM.
