German’s Restaurant acquires Tiger Bay property for commercial development

German’s Restaurant yesterday announced the acquisition of the property that formerly housed the well-known Foreman’s Electrical Shoe Shop in Tiger Bay.

The site, located on Bentinck Street, adjacent to Mattai’s Supermarket, spans the area from Water Street to Queen Street.

A release from German’s restaurant said that after remaining overgrown and unused for more than a decade, the property will be transformed into a “vibrant commercial block designed to accommodate multiple businesses”. The release added that this development aligns with German’s Restaurant’s commitment to fostering economic growth and revitalization in the community.

Owner Clinton Urling expressed his enthusiasm for the project, stating, “We are excited about the potential this property holds, not just for our business but for the wider Tiger Bay community. We hope this initiative contributes to the ongoing efforts to rejuvenate the area and create new opportunities.”

German’s Restaurant says it looks forward to playing a role in the continued development of Georgetown and will share further updates as the project progresses.

German’s Restaurant is a second-generation family-owned establishment specializing in authentic Guyanese cuisine. It has locations in Guyana and New York, US.
