Church’s Chicken celebrates 20 years in Guyana with grand opening in New Amsterdam

New Amsterdam, February 27, 2026: Camex Restaurants Inc. today celebrated its 20th anniversary in Guyana with the grand opening of its transformed and expanded location in New Amsterdam, Berbice. The facility is the first in Berbice to house the Company’s three flagship brands – Church’s Chicken, Mario’s Pizza, and Dairy Queen – under one roof, signaling a major investment in the community and a new chapter of growth.

The launch event, held at the new premises, kicks off a year-long national celebration under the theme “Feel The Love”, commemorating two decades of service, community partnership, and growth since Camex opened its first Church’s Chicken restaurant in Guyana in 2006.

The ceremony was attended by local dignitaries, including the Mayor of New Amsterdam and a representative of the Berbice Chamber of Commerce, alongside corporate partners to celebrate the significant investment in the Berbice region. The investment has created 20 new jobs, reinforcing the Company’s commitment to contributing to Berbice’s vibrant economic transformation.

Speaking at the ceremony, Dhara Cumberbatch, Operations Director at Camex Restaurants Inc., reflected on the company’s journey and highlighted its ambitious plans for the future:

“This is about more than a store expansion; it’s about celebrating 20 years of partnership with the people of Guyana and continuing to grow alongside the communities we love. We are investing in this location at a truly remarkable time for Guyana. Today, I am thrilled to announce that our investment here is only just beginning. We are already in the advanced planning stages for new locations along the Berbice coast, bringing even more choices and opportunities to people in Berbice.”

Marketing Representative Latoya Martin emphasized the broader vision for the anniversary year: “Feel the Love is our promise for 2026 and is built around three commitments: love for customers, love for growth, and love for community. Our focus for this year is on giving back, expanding our reach, celebrating community, and creating moments of joy across Guyana. New Amsterdam is just the beginning.”

The event also featured the official reveal of new brand ambassador Samuel Medas, who shared in the celebration.

Looking forward, Camex Restaurants Inc. reaffirmed its commitment to serving not only meals, but also communities. From Berbice to Bartica, the Company’s promise is to create welcoming spaces where families gather and memories are made.
