PLASTIC

Number 42 on the American Film Institute's list of the top 100 movie quotations is one word: “Plastics.” Many of you will recognise it as part of the conversation 21-year-old Ben, played by Dustin Hoffman, had with one of his father’s worldly-wise friends at a party to celebrate his graduation. "There's a great future in plastics. Think about it.

Then came 2016-17, and with it ‘GNB Refresh 2020.’ A marketing tagline that essentially meant the brand took a 180° spin - from a 'World Food Store' to a 'Daily Food Delights' store.

The home for the elderly, which has been functioning since 1962, was long due for up gradation.
