Marvin Skeen wins Shell One Stop’s Suzuki Grand Vitara

The winner of the 2009 Suzuki Grand Vitara is…Marvin Skeen. Skeen, who is a frequent customer of Shell One Stop at the Corner of Cemetery Road and Central American Boulevard, participated in the ten-week V-Power raffle by SOL Belize. He was flabbergasted when he found out that he had won the grand prize—a red 2009 Grand Vitara valued at over seventy thousand dollars. And according to General Manager of SOL Belize, Joe Habet, the raffle, which is the second of its kind, was a good incentive for customers. News Five was there when the winning ticket was chosen and approximately one hour later when a happy Skeen came to pick up his new ride.
