Have you been told they are back or have knowledge as such? I am sorry but unless you have reason to believe they are back I don't get the question.
From their own website (and I have no idea how up to date this is):
Please note that our retail outlet in St.Maarten has recently closed its operations but we continue to distribute and make our products available all over the Caribbean.
As far as I know and based on what has been discussed on here, there is NO retail store. A quick internet search did not indicate they are back in the retail business.

They ARE in the retail business but online only as posted above. They only closed their retail bricks & mortar operation because one of the parents of the owners had a serious health issue so they returned to India. They do have a small wholesale-only place for resellers only. The prices on the website are very good. Their son is involved heavily in the website. Good stuff.

The prices on the website are MUCH, MUCH, MUCH higher than they were in the store, basically about twice what a similar item used to be in the store. And the selection for women, in particular (I never looked much for men's stuff, as Eric wouldn't wear it) the selection is terrible, versus what it was in the store. I basically never go to downtown P'burg any more but may have to one of these days, to buy some new coverups. The street markets there at least have a big selection of stuff. I have bought some stuff from the gals who come by on Mullet, but I dislike being limited to what they have.
