3 or 4 months?? The last I knew, there was NOTHING happening there yet. I would think it would take a lot more than 3 or 4 months to re-open, once they start working on it..

The grocery in Cupecoy is open, yes, and is a smaller Carrefour. You also have the market in Maho, as well as the big former Grand Marche at the roundabout by Mark's, which is now a Carrefour. There is also the Market Garden, at the corner of Billy Folly Road.
By the way, with regard to grocery bags, I would bring some, as I'm not sure, but I think no one supplies them free anymore. A wad of grocery bags don't take up any room in suitcase.

Sadly, Carrefour STILL gives plastic bags. Carrefour at Porto Cupecoy is open and fully stocked most days.

Yup...cloth bags lying flat on the bottom of a suitcase take up negligible space. We always bring them...

Is the large grocery store right turn off new bridge open? Do they still have boxes there to put groceries in if you don't have bags. I hate to use up space packing with reusable grocery bags Cardboard boxes are a favorite hangout of cockroaches. Good luck using them. A couple of cloth or reusable bags take up almost no room.

It's closer to Phillipsburg where A.J.C Brouwer Rd. and Bush Rd. meet.

Just a FYI - when I stayed at Blue Marine in Maho, I found the market at Maho quite well stocked. It's small but I was able to find everything I needed. Us too!

If you're talking about the Carrefour which used to be called the Grand Marche, by Mark's, it is MUCH larger than the Maho market. I don't particularly care for the Maho market, as the parking is so tight, and we do a LOT of cooking, so their selection isn't really what I would want. However, it is convenient to Beachside, so we do go there once a twice a week for quick stuff like the Daily Herald or a bottle of wine, although I find the prices at Maho market for wine to be very high, compared to Carrefour or Super U. I still very much miss the Gourmet Grand Marche which was in Simpson Bay.

Really that bad there Carol? I guess you are not close to Ft. Lauderdale as they are very familiar with French there. Many French Canadians spend the winter there.

Yee Haw Junction? LOL
We spent 3 months in Port Saint Lucie. We went back and forth across the State a few times. Been on 60, 70 and Aligator Alley. Saw the sing for Yee Haw going across and up the Tpk. to Disney. And yes, we saw lots of groves.
Sometimes the middle of no where is kinda nice!
