Fiji styled Burns Phillip (South seas) Co Ltd with an issued share capital of £ 750,000, to acquire the assets of the parent Burns Philp Co Ltd and its business interests in Fiji, Tonga, Samoa, Gilbert and Ellice, New Hebrides, British Solomon Islands, etc.. Burns Philp (S.S.) Co Ltd, went on to expand and open branches in major cities and towns in Fiji.

In February 1971, Courts PLC – a then UK-based public company, incorporated Courts (Fiji) Limited and commenced trading operations in Fiji by opening its first store in Samabula.
