Kath. Looks like you’ve given the most helpful post. Particularly, since the retailer may be reading the comments. I hear tourists say that they prefer to come to Bermuda and see and experience the locals working in the various places they visit. Some can be sassy but that becomes as much of the experience as the pink sand.

Good to hear that Bermudians are still Bermuda’s best natural resource.

except for the fact that most items in the store are the sale items online!

As a long time visitor I prefer to shop where I can buy Bermuda made goods – not in stores you can find anywhere. Please don’t let Bermuda become just another Caribbean Island.

I run a Facebook group called Bermuda Bound and the thing people like the most about Bermuda is that it’s different, and the people are so warm, welcoming and friendly. They do not need “training” in US retail ways.

And moronic acceptance of obscene profit margins/markups is why prices keep going up.

Who cares? As long as they actually have training and can offer good customer service. Unlike many places….

Most Bermudians that are out of work are unemployable my friend.

This is the the best thing that has happened to Bermuda retail for some time.

To Jus’Wondering,
All the prices are USA Retail prices you actually save Money buying in Bermuda no sales tax to deal with, I’d say that’s a good deal

Cost is relative. There’s no such thing as ‘too expensive’.

Who would really shop there though…too expensive and just for people who like to pop their double collars . What’s with all the franchises coming to Bermy recently too?!

Where are the complainers about America’s Cup only benefitting certain members of society??? Looks to me like lots of locals were paid good money to get this store up and running…not to mention the locals who will be running it day to day!!
Thank you America’s Cup and OBA!!

Do the FOREIGN staff who are training them have temporary work permits? Did they have to pay duty on all fixtures imported to the island?
