Grand Cayman Shopping: Everyday Stuff!

Grand Cayman shopping isn’t just about Columbian emeralds and souvenirs, pleasurable as those things are. Most of us find eating every meal in restaurants a bit too rich and welcome the simpler things in life once in a while.

This page is about where to find the basics, food and other supplies.

The two groups to mention here are Fosters and Hurleys. Both run supermarkets that provide all your needs and with a Caribbean flavor. So, as most resorts’ rooms provide some kitchen area, you can start your day with cereals and toast, or whatever works for you.

The two chains also provide prepared food bars, which are a cost-effective way of trying Caribbean dishes. I found these great for lunch — I think I mentioned my love of Caribbean food.

Fosters has a big location right at the airport so, depending on the time you arrive, you may want to stock up on simple stuff like coffee on your way to your resort.

Their other locations are: The Strand Plaza at Seven Mile Beach The Republix at West Bay Countryside Shopping Village in the Savannah district

and their newest location, an express store, in the East End right across from the Reef and Morritts resorts.

Hurleys has a fine new store at the Heron Harbour Plaza on Crewe Road, just before it merges into Red Bay Road as you head out to the east.

If you want a more holiday-like experience to your daily grocery shopping, there are plenty of roadside stalls selling everything from local fruit and vegetables to home-produced jerk chicken and pork.

Two popular stalls are Willy’s on the road out of George Town (heading to the East End) and Rankin’s Jerk Centre in Bodden Town farther along the same road. In George Town, Seymour’s Jerk Centre is handily placed on Shedden Rd.
