I think it is really amusing to hear people claiming that the government taking over the Grand Bahama Port Authority will improve things. Yet again, there are talks about colonialism (just another word for foreigners) to blame. This will just cause foreign investors to look even more so elsewhere. Freeport was never free and always under the terrible influence of the Bahamas government and its myopic views on the economy - basically looking out for themselves and not the future of the country. Trying to find the next naive investor to fleece. No long-term views - Bahamas, wake up! You have been in charge for the last 50 years; there is no one else to blame.

The real reason for the exorbitant food costs is that all these companies buy from US sources. The government should be working with them to import from other countries. US groceries are low quality and completely overpriced. It's time for the Bahamas to diversify away from the US, not only for cost but also for food safety and security reasons.

Let's leave this here... another second rate gambling industry grifter. Eleuthera deserves better.

All I know is that they can't even be bothered to keep their stores in shape and clean. I mean refrigeration dies every other week. With direct competition these guys would have been out of business 50 years ago. It's a monopoly and they, along with a corrupt government that would never allow a world class grocery chain to set up shop are the reason why prices are so high.

Mr smarty pants could start importing foodstuff from elsewhere. The US food industry is a monopolized rip-off, turning out subpar products. As we see with Waitrose products in places like Fresh Market, it's obviously cheaper to get higher quality goods from Europe than from the US.

Google Coreco “CJ” Pearson. What a complete and utter joke. This is some kind of grift as usual.

Looks amazing!

CBS has a good ordering and delivery system, but their stock keeping is pretty bad, as are of course all Bahamian retailers. At least one can see (more or less accurately) what is in stock. The selection is of course also extremely limited, but I don't see this improving anytime/ever. If you have time and want quality, there is unfortunately no reason to shop in the Bahamas. I understand stock keeping is expensive and paying 20% on top is fine (after duty&shipping), but retailers who want 50% to 100% more are delusional.

As if there were some kind of free American healthcare! Hilarious!

Built in 1945.... amazing planes, but after 80 years it might be time to retire them, otherwise they will retire themselves.
