New provisioning stores...
So recently I made an all too rare trip to the East End and remembered how much I love Marina Market! While there we had a convo with one of the owners who said he is opening a wine and cheese store across the parking lot. Do any of the EastEnders (not the English show!) know if it is opened yet or when it is expected to be?
Also, I had heard about an all organic store in Lockhart Gardens in the process. That was quite some time ago though and it still has tape and paper blocking the windows. Any word on that from anyone in the know?
Thanks!!!
I love Marina Market but the parking got to be a huge hassle. Has that improved? Loved the meat there. So the wine & cheese store will be in that building where the bar is?
Onika: I haven't seen a wine and cheese store in "The Galleria", as they are now calling it- yet. I will probably be there Sunday and will check.
As an aside: Also walked into the Fiesta-whatever-it-is at Buccaneer Mall today. (The restaurant/calling center/videokareoke/oriental groceries etc place) They are serving a buffet lunch for $11. They don't have the oriental grocery section open yet. All the talk of Havensight is the new Hooters- they are interviewing potential staff so the guys are all lined up liming.
Trade: The parking is still horrible at Marina Market, so I try to shop at odd times. There is a new lot up behind "The Galleria" -Mencia's (sp?) and they had a golf cart to take you up and down the hill last season. Don't know if that is still part of the program or not. ..
BTW, the old Poor Man's Bar is now "Fat Boys." I haven't been but hear they have a "body shot" menu. Nice improvement over Poor Man's. (sarcastic emoticon here)
Trade, no singing here, I promise! 🙂
Hooters at Havensight, body shots at Fat Boys: the USVI is quite the classy vacation destination! 😀
Okay. There are two spots across from Marina Market. The doors were both open and people were working in them, but no signs so far of what the businesses will be. BTW, Marina Market has redone their produce area and has lots of strange and wonderful fruits and veggies.
yummers on the fruits and veggies.
fyi--hooters is now open. already the business seems to be doing quite well.
