Supposedly the land where he is now located is owned by PDP, which is who just bought the former cinema/Booze It Up building and they have bigger plans.

As the island goes, who knows but it was from a local source who has had business interests on the island. There appeared to be some land clearing going on in the area around Topper's when I was just on the island.

I thought he was building condos on the beach. Drake Residences? That location is in Beacon Hill next to El Zafiro isn't it?

The previous place was called Bananas. I think Bananas ceased to exist for other reasons from what I understand. The couple who ran it went to Anguilla and supposedly started a restaurant there. Not sure of the ownership of the land but I was told by another long time business owner very recently owner PDP owned it. There are some local sources I trust as far as information and some I do not.

Agree. My local friends say Topper does not own that property, it's a lease. The folks that owned Bananas ran off and left their employees unpaid.

Due to the original poster's retracting the post, I changed the title and am locking the thread.
