The Marketplace

Description:

• This is the largest grocery store on the island, catering to locals and vacationers alike. There are various branches scattered across the island but the chain headquarters is in Hamilton at the address below. Started in 1939, the chain was originally called Piggly Wiggly. If you don't want to cook, you can purchase pre-cooked food here to carry away with you, including homemade soups, freshly made salads, main courses for dinner, even stir-fries and luscious desserts. Locals often drop in for a hot lunch, and there is a lot of organic foodstuff. The main branch stays open at night until 10, and even keeps Sunday hours from 1 to 5pm.
