A few hours after the Surly Cantina's owners announced they were leaving the island, it became known the operator of the Mexican food spot that replaced them at Wharfside Village has put the business up for sale.
"Resturant-Mexican Cantina – $65000 (St.John, USVI)" is the headline. The ad reads, "Here is your opportunity to get away and own your own buisiness (sic) in St.John. This is a turn=key (sic) operation with minimal experience needed. A perfect chance for 2 people to own their own buisness (sic) on a tropical island."
So, even if you can't spell business, you can buy one.

- A review of the spot for sale:
This is all just too fishy to believe. I will never eat there after all the shenanigans and ousters and stealing names/ideas.
$65,000 plus $7,000/mo in rent! Where do I sign?
How about sell it for free and reduce the rent to $3000.00 a month and then I might consider it.
