I would go to Carrefour by Mark's. They have a great selection, including liquor and wine, and better prices on wine than the Carrefour in Cole Bay.

OK, with regard to Mark's, head over the hill toward P'burg, past Kooyman, to the roundabout. At the roundabout, bear toward the right, which is where Carrefour and Mark's are on the right hand side.

OK, sorry, I was thinking about coming from the airport, versus coming from the resort.

Sorry, I was talking about from the direction of the airport, versus OBBR, which is the opposite direction, not coming directly from the airport to the grocery store. The post got kind of confused. Do NOT leave your stuff in the car from the airport and go to the grocery store. Super U in Hope Estate is 5 minutes from Grand Case. Go drop off your stuff at the hotel and then go do your shopping.

Well if it was me.......... I wouldn’t shop and would let Jeannie Gee of Shopndrop do my shopping for me. Easy to order and pay on line and easier yet to arrive at your destination to find everything neatly stowed in your kitchen and the drinks chilln’ in the fridge. But I hate to shop and only do so in necessity after we’re already checked in and settled at our resort.
Respectfully,
pat

Regarding coins, a US quarter works just fine to unlock the cart.. And regarding reusable bags, we have bought the bags there at Super U the past couple of trips, and then put them in the baggage going down to SXM, no problem.

Yes!! Can't remember what was there before, but there is a brand new large Super U in Hope Estates. It opened in June 2019. Same great selection as in Marigot.

Was it Simply?
They had actually closed prior to Irma. I think it was USA Market. I remember thinking it meant American but when we went in it was all French.

So glad it has reopened. We missed it opening by a few months on our last trip.
