Founded in the 1950’s by Roopnarine and Pulbassia Charran, Charran’s has come a long way from its humble beginnings in Chaguanas, Trinidad and Tobago. When Mr. Charran first started out, his passion for helping others gave him the drive to turn hard work and inspiration into a successful business. We now serve customers throughout the Caribbean and are not only thrilled to be involved in education, but also in making education accessible and affordable for everyone.
