Carmen's - All in the Family

P.J. Mercanti
In response to one of our readers who asked about the make up of Carmen's in terms of who its board of directors and shareholders are, and in response to an email we sent PJ,  PJ Mercanti, responded as follows:

Hi There,

Would be happy to share with you that information. 

The sole owner of Carmen’s is my father, Peter Mercanti. The Best Western Premier C Hotel is equally split between myself, my brother Joe Mercanti and my father Peter.

The directors on Carmen’s are my father Peter, myself, and my brother Joe.

It’s all in the family.

Hope that helps,

PJ

Thanks PJ for clarifying. PJ has also responded on this thread (click here)

  1. Is the Hamiltonian suggesting that there is something wrong with a family runned business? Are you recommending that the government should be operating Carmen's? If that was the case then it would be losing money really quickly just like the HWT. As long as my tax dollars don't go to any privately runned business I DON'T CARE if it is a family owned and operated business. We still live in a capitalist country.

      The Hamiltonian is not suggesting anything. We have simply allowed PJ and our readership to express their views, and we have remained agnostic on this issue.

    In reply to David: There is nothing wrong with a family runned business and The Hamiltonian did not suggest anything of the sort. The Hamiltonian allows us the readers to speak our minds which is wonderful. On the other hand if you feel so deffensive there must be a motive. There are many great family owned businesses in our City. Keep doing a great job Hamiltonian Staff.
