'Wonders of the Virgin Islands' to open today @ TPP
Speaking to this news site, one of the persons behind the venture Kareem-Nelson Hull said the new store will bring an experience never before seen. Hull’s sister Virgin Islands attorney at law and author Ayana S. Hull is also a part of the new business.
“It is the first time that visitors and locals alike will be able to take a piece of history home. These are special replicas of Virgin Islands landmarks and it is the first time that they are going to be available on the mass market,” Kareem-Nelson Hull said.
He added that everything that they will have in the store was designed by the 'Wonders of the Virgin Islands' theme.
“We didn’t get templates from anywhere…we didn’t copy any popular styles from tourism [shops]. We literally sat down and decided on the product we wanted for Virgin Islanders that would bring value to the tourist experience which is what the Tortola Pier Park encouraged people to do and I think that we have found a way to do so successfully."
The items being sold in the store will range in price from $4.00 to $25.00.
The opening of the store will feature local wines, mauby and other drinks and delicacies.

Once it's gone, it's gone.
I don't want to discourage anyone and I applaud the efforts of the siblings. I wish them luck. But is this what tourists want?
Is the first or only store ever opened in the history of the BVI?
All the best my people. All the best! Its a wonderful effort you are making and may you have success. See you at the opening later.
Mr. Hull, Ms. Hull and Mrs. Skelton Malone, you have definitely created a vision that many do not have the capacity and foresight to even conceptualise. Do not mind the haters, people can only comment behind their computer screens. This is a WONDERful venture and I support you 110%. #winning #longhairdontcare #VIpride
I LOOK FOR THE POSITIVES IN YOU SO I SEE THE POSITIVE!
GOD BLESS!
Please conduct research before you comment. I suspect that you are not well traveled based on your comment. Replicas among other things are ideal souvenirs.
