HISTORY

For more than 50 years, Brothers Habet has been serving Belizeans with (diligence), vision, care and integrity.  The history of the company is one of those wonderful success stories built on perseverance and ambition.  It’s one of a family and a business that has continued growing and expanding, all the while staying true to a set of values passed on from generation to generation.

From its humble beginnings in 1955, the small corner store established by Salvador M. Habet Sr. and randomly dubbed ‘All The Way Grocery and Saloon’, has seen much change and growth as well as its share of setbacks. Starting as a small corner store selling mainly grocery essentials, the next few decades would see Brothers Habet in its former incarnations changing locations and expanding its product offerings, evolving first into “Habet’s Store” and then into “Salvador M. Habet & Co.”  It wasn’t until 1983, though, that the move was finally made to exclusively sell and excel in hardware and building supplies, and Brothers Habet Ltd. was born!

Brothers Habet Ltd. officially opened its doors at 115 Barrack Rd. in November of 1983. For over 25 years Brothers Habet Ltd. has grown into a proactive company striving to constantly bring value to its customers and meaningful contributions to the community. Throughout the years we have managed to continue improving on our business with the support of our loyal customers, our employees and our community.

The proud history of Brothers Habet has been built by generations of hardworking men and women, all dedicated to providing value, service and excellence. The wisdom and experience provided by the first generation was followed by a wave of change and expansion that can only be attributed to young ambition, hard work and the idealism of the second generation. As time progresses, fresh blood is once again being infused into the company with the arrival and growth of the Third Generation. This arrival coincides with our efforts to completely modernize the company by incorporating new and relevant technologies to all aspects of our business.  We will effectively increase our efficiency while providing new benefits to our growing customer base.

While Brothers Habet is once again on the verge of a huge transformation where our procedures may change, the core values that have been firmly established by family tradition will continue.  Our goal remains building a modern and convenient store to serve Belize and Belizeans. We expect that many things will continue to change in the future, as the world is in constant progress, but we pledge to maintain the same values of hard work, integrity, vision and care that have made Brothers Habet the store of first choice of all those who contribute to building a better Belize, every day.
