So your response is to send more Bermuda dollars overseas, rather than spend it here where it can support Bermudians… kinda hypocritical after all your Bermuda First rants

On average to buy products and fill up your container and then ship to the island complete with items to sell here and after all duty and what not has been taken out, under a peddlers license would cost around 20 to 26k. After selling all those items your money would double. Done it before so I know what I’m talking about.

After Hunts for years………If hunts was blowing the socks off people sending cart loads of goods out the door– marketplace would’ve thunk twice about probably dumping many zero’s into that dilapidated building giving the community what they’ve been waiting for.

We will shop where the prices are reasonable, there are a variety of products and the service is great. If you can’t offer this then you’re not being competitive.

We’ll never know if I do or not- wouldnt matter–the great thing is that the truth was stated and cannot be argued. Think the responses have spoken for themselves in terms of the possible future success of this new store- no plug needed there. I just know I shopped in there today- and people are pretty thrilled with what we saw.

2-3 thousand for a container, airfare for 1 round trip- 4-600, getting the goods from walmart to container 3-500, duty on let’s say- 20,000 dollars in good- maybe 1-2000 dollars, paperwork for customs, time spent… List goes on- and what the heck would someone do with a container Of product and where would they put it? Yeah ur right- seems simple lol

Hunt’s has a discount day so I’ll keep shopping there….unless PriceRite has a discount day.

lets not get it twisted… Market Places has been after Hunts for years.. I know for a fact so please don’t argue with me. This Country may be small but it is still big enough for all the businesses, they didn’t have put it in Warwick. Like i said i know what i am saying is a fact, evil does not prosper. God don’t sleep

Not so. These guys’ prices are good and remain so.

Why is color always mentioned. Market place / Price Rite employs BLACK & WHITE staff. WHY IS COLOR AN ISSUE…. plus Hunts prices are so high to due that they had the upper hand being the only wholesale place in the area. FYI Owners of Price Rite / Market Place are BERMUDIAN…..

no walmart prices are lower if folks are smart they can fly up to new jersey and shop a load up their own container and ship it to bermuda twice a year

Black,white or purple in these tough money times I will shop where I get more bang for the buck.I have a huge admiration for Mr Hunt and what he has done for his self.I bet he would not mind if I could make a dollar out of fifteen cents at another store to benefit my family.That other store doesn’t necessarily even have to be this one in particular.Black isn’t always exact and white isn’t always right good financial common sense has no colour.

Just a reminder- the owner of The Marketplace is Bermudian, one of the largest employers of bermudians in this country, and one of the best paying employers to bermudians in the retail sector on this island. Not to mention the amount of Bermudian contractors/employees that were employed during the remodel/rebuild of this store. Is the store or company perfect? No. Are the prices and selection perfect? No. But is it the best warehouse store on the Island, with lower prices than most? Yes. Shop around, shop smart, expect great service everywhere, because you are going to shop where you feel important.

Just because it’s bulk doesn’t always mean you’re getting a bargain. Check your prices people! 2 main things killing people’s paychecks right now electricity and groceries and they’re both practically owned by monopolies. Speaking of which oil is at an all time low. My Belco and gas pump prices should be coming down DRAMATICALLY!!

But it feels like a supermarket 20 years ago. Only good local should survive, being small and local isn’t reason enough.

Let’s hope the price remain RIGHT. They tend to go up after time.

Congrats to the owners of Price Rite but let’s not forget that we should support our own. And remember that Hunts is a family owned store that plays a key role in our community.
