Le Grande Marche Locations Paste the addresses in Google Earth and you're there. On the way to Orient we like to stop at the Le Grande Marche at the Bush Rd. / AJC Brouwer Rd /LB Scott Rd rotary.

By the way Google Earth's Pro version is now a free program from Google. Get it here: Google Earth Pro Once installed... you'll get a registration screen... If you do not have a key, use your email address and the key GEPFREE to sign in. Existing license keys have already been extended, so if you already have a license then you can keep using Earth Pro without ever needing to renew again.

I downloaded and it already has all of my saved locations from regular Google Earth. I use this program all the time - many thanks for the tip.

I guess it could be six of one and half dozen of the other as far as distance goes, but I think traffic on any given day might be the larger factor... We've been in the Union Rd. Cole Bay store only once, and didn't like it as much as the Bush Rd. store. Others in this thread Le Grande Marche felt the same way. Anyway it may all be moot soon if you are a diehard Le Grande Marche fan... on May 7th the Le Grande Marche Facebook Page posted this: ------------------------- Le Grand Marché Group is opening the first Carrefour Market in St. Maarten soon !!! Carrefour Group is the leading retailer in Europe and has 10,100 stores in 34 countries. Le Grand Marché store in Cole Bay will become a Carrefour Market with 30,000 SQ Ft and 50,000 products references adapting to the multicultural richness of both Dutch and French sides. Le Grand Marché group always strives to bring THE BEST OF EVERYTHING TO ST. MAARTEN.------------------------- A little discussion of whether this is a good thing or not started here: Carrefour coming!And charlieh the Google Earth Pro has apparently been FREE since 1/20/2015... I just heard about it yesterday on a Computer oriented Radio Talk Show. It maybe wasn't publicized too well.

Sorry, can't help you as we have never used Unity so I am not sure of their location. We pretty much stick with Thrifty which is located just down below the airport.

Marcheall said: Any idea when the change from Grand Marche to Carrefore is scheduled to take place? yes indeed there is a change the carrefour product are already showing up on the shelves there... It will still carry all american products and as far as what I have been told they are anticipating the full change over to be Ocotber 2015. It will still operate under the grand marche umbrella and you will still see the full set of Grand Marche staff... Think of this as more of a partnership than a full take over. It is a win/win situation... for those who have been to France you are probably already aware that the courrefour stores carry a full rnge of wonderful products so it is a pleasent change now that both the Americian and French prodcuts will be carried at the same supermarket... All this is what I have heard so far... Thanks Jeannie

Jeannie--just to be clear, are all the Grand Marches going to be re-named as Carrefour? I thought it was just the one store? I understand them carrying the name brand without the store name changing. Just wanted to understand that part of it.

OK, thanks. That's what I thought. Although not sure it makes a lot of difference, other than we tourists will get confused as to the names of things! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Smile.gif" alt="" />
