Bamboula, the “Caribbean lifestyle" store at Mongoose Junction, is for sale with an asking price of $425,000. But you wouldn’t know it by speaking with real estate folks on island. That’s because it’s on Craigslist.
Mrs. Inquiring Iguana asked why there, and not on the Multiple Listing Service? The only answer I can come up with is that the owners want to reach people not on island.
“Bamboula is a Caribbean lifestyle store featuring both women’s and men’s clothing, accessories, and jewelry; as ell as furniture, art, and decorative items for the home,” says the Craigslist posting. This business is going to take a lot of attention. It seems to offer something for everyone, which means a lot of inventory items; which means tracking and ordering, and lots of managing.

I am so sorry to hear this. It is one of my favorite stores and I shop there every time I visit St. John. I understand though with the hard economic times. I wish I could afford to buy it.
