Colonial has opened 3 branches in the last 14 months. In December 2005, I had the pleasure of opening Colonial’s branch in Pacific Harbour. Since then, Colonial has opened another branch at Centrepoint in Laucala Bay, Suva, which caters for the busy Nausori/Nabua corridor. This Centrepoint branch opens also on Saturday from 9.00am to 1.00pm.
