It depends what you mean by "comparable" shopping. Carrefour by Mark's was, and will be again, huge, beautiful, reasonably priced, with lots of American products. Super U is a GREAT, clean supermarket, huge, with very reasonable prices, especially for French wines, meats, produce, but almost NO American products. Carrefour Express at Cupecoy and Jordan Village are VERY much smaller, with less to choose from. Market Garden to me is WAY overpriced, but it does have lots of American products and it is convenient. There is a new grocery store which is open where the Fresh Market used to be, open as of like June 22. I forget the name of it, but we did go there to check it out. There were big lines the day we were there, but it looked to be very well stocked with American products, if that's what you're interested in. We didn't really see prices, as they had just opened and didn't have prices on the shelf yet. But I would definitely check it out.

That store survived Irma. It did not survive looters. As Eric said, supposedly they are working on it.

Could be, but the worst damage was when looters stole literally or destroyed EVERYTHING inside, coolers, etc... They could have been open MONTHS ago if it hadn't been for that.

Well, I know what the owner said at the time, and the owner said that the vast majority of the damage was from looting. They tore out all the machinery, etc., everything.

Again, I'm not saying there wasn't damage. I'm saying that the looting is the reason why it's not open yet....

Where is Super U located?
I love shopping for 'non' American products. I find it one of the best parts of our trips, trying and tasting different things.

Super U is in Marigot at the Hallowell Center (next to the French side McDonalds) Be sure to take your own re-usable shopping bags. You also need coins to get the carts out if I recall?
