PriceLo reopens its doors in Purcell
According to manager, Mr Shadi M. Ziada, the business had been opened for about five years prior to the decision to reorganize it so that it is able to offer a better service to the community.
“It is a place to stop and shop, a friendly shop, a place to come with a smile for friendly service” the manager said to this news site today August 28, 2014. “It is located in Purcell next to the Sunrise Bakery,” he said.
“We also do top up, LIME and CCT,” said Ziada, as he spoke of the services that the community will be able to benefit from. “We are opening after reorganizing the business,” said Ziada.
The store is a well-stocked one and offers a cozy atmosphere and shopping experience well suited for the community. It should serve well for persons who do not see the need to trek all the way to the two larger supermarkets located along the main road, according to the manager.

I must add that it is the government fault, we do not and never had a government with backbone to stand up for it people.
What I said about the Arabs in the US is a fact, you can call me what ever names you wish, I stand my ground, no government should allow another group of people to come into their country and displace it own.
Middle Eastern people on a whole are NASTY in just about everything that they do, it is played out everyday, you can see it and hear about everywhere you go.
We can see what has happened in Trinidad and Tobago and Guyana and if the BVI does not take the steps needed to correct the problem in 15 to 20 years you will see the result.
There has to be a balance in everything and that goes for expats with businesses in the BVI. I will say this if I walk into a store in the VI that is owned by an Arab, I will turn around and walk out.
One more thing, if you feel it is your birthright to buy and sell,do it in your own country where you have birth right.
I will assume you are both Arabs and cannot take the truth or you are quite aware of the facts, there
are many Virgin Islanders who agree with me but are afraid to speak out. Take a trip to Havensight Mall in St. Thomas and you will see for your self. When all the trade licenses for small businesses are taken up by expats a local will not have the opportunity to secure a license to enter in a business in HIS OR HER COUNTRY, is that you want to see happen in the BVI. I have nothing against expats, we need them to invest in our country, but there must be limits, many Caribbean countries set their limits on investments at $500,000.00 and above and there is a reason for that, to protect small businesses that can be locally owned, why should the BVI be different in that respect.
Maybe some day we will have government with some backbone who will say NO to people like the owners of this grocery store you cannot have a license to engage in that kind of business. Wake up BVI don't wait until they start taking over the TAXI business.
A few days ago Hon Fraser stated how the BVI middle class is being driven into the ground, that supermarkets are now selling plates of food and the local restaurants are hurting because of this, where is the government oversight on things of this nature. Yes, let us continue give trade licenses to every expats who shows up in the BVI with a $1000.00 and we will soon find ourselves being slaves again.
I know of a young Virgin Islander who wants to start a food wholesale business and cannot get a trade license, but we can give trade licenses to every Arab who wants one to engage in the food business.
The people who flock to st thomas every wknd to shop are upset that arabs are owning supermarkets lmao
So if a local business is going under and an expat is the only buyer, the govt should let the local suffer? Its not all black and white like you claim. Bottom line is locals need to stop bitching and thinking govt is their answer to.running a business. Limiting licenses wont help locals with s.it. It starts with unity and common sense. You must research b4 starting any business. Being local doesnt mean your business is guaranteed to be successfull.
people and you will find the answer.
