FRENCHMAN’S CAY, VI- Just over three years since the Roadtown Wholesale Trading Limited supermarket in Soper's Hole in Frenchman’s Cay was devastated by Hurricane Irma, a fully stocked and refurbished Harbour Market was reopened on Friday, February 5, 2021.
‘Coolest supermarket in the world’
“We are proud to serve you in this wonderful community and we certainly hope you enjoy the store, said General Manager of Roadtown Wholesale Trading Limited, Neil Hayes, who described Harbour Market as the coolest supermarket in the world.
“Why is it the coolest supermarket in the world? Well, this supermarket shares an incredible location, its front door only a few feet away from the world’s cleanest and clearest ocean, teeming of fish and sea life. This supermarket enjoys wonderful architecture. Not only do we sell pineapples inside but we have pineapples on the roof. The supermarket has the only staff lunchroom where you can sit and eat your lunch on the balcony and watch turtles swim in the marina,” Mr Hayes said in his brief remarks at the opening ceremony.
Meeting the needs of the community
Roadtown Wholesale's Operations Manager, Andrew Schuweiler commented that it has been a long time coming with the reopening of the supermarket but work only really began in earnest about four months ago, under the leadership of Mr Hayes.
Mr Hayes told VINO that Harbour Market is a relatively small store but they worked really hard to get as many products in to serve the community as best as they can.
“I think the team has worked incredibly well to make sure that we are in a position to serve the community as best as we can here.”
And as Mr Hayes had promised since November 2020, the store has a large range of products across two floors. Downstairs has a wide range of fresh produce, fresh meat, chilled and frozen foods. Upstairs features a wine room and household staples.
Opening hours & promotions
The supermarket, which as a staff of 7, with manager Jacintha H. Weekes, will be opened 8:00am to 7:00pm every day and will also offer the same competitive prices for items as the other stores under Roadtown Wholesale Trading Limited.
Dawn J. Callwood, Sales and Marketing Coordinator at Roadtown Wholesale Trading Ltd, said for this week until next Saturday, customers who spend $25 and more at Harbour Market will receive a $5 coupon every time they shop that amount.
Further, she said all promotions will be across the board, including the current ‘Super 8 Deals’ promotion that runs from Wednesdays to Tuesdays.
Creativity & talent
Notably, customers who enter the second floor of Harbour Market can hardly miss beautiful paintings on the walls.
The paintings were done by Riteway employee Walden J. Benjamin.
“Thanks to the most creative and talented Riteway employee Walden Benjamin, this supermarket now has a permanent work of art painted on its walls which we hope will grace the store for the next 100 years,” Mr Hayes said.
