Residents of Roatan have experienced a nice improvement in the availability of food and beverages this year. The Bulk Gourmet, operated by Butch and Sherry have been a long time supplier of imported products for restaurants and residents. This summer they decided to condense their delivery days from five to four and take that one day a week to open a store front for their customers to be able to shop their huge variety of products. The store is located in the Hyber Shipping complex, just look for the big red doors. They are currently open every Thursday so drop in and say hello. Don’t forget to ask Butch for a sample of booze.
Also just recently opened in the new Mega Plaza shopping center in French Harbour is the Super Mercado. This general grocery store is a regional chain in Honduras and will stock a large selection of food products and kitchen wares when it is fully stocked. This is also the first store on Roatan to have an escalator!
I would be slacking if I didn’t mention the new and greatly improved Eldons’ grocery. The new store has been open for a few months now and it has been great to see the big selection of U.S. products and to know that the inventory is being maintained. They also have an in-store bakery and a great selection of greeting cards.
Roatan continues to grow and improve with great businesses and services. Hope to see you on the island this winter.
Enjoy Life, Philip
