Coconut Vine

Who is closing after 23 yrs

Coconut Vine.

Where and what is Coconut Vine?

clothing store downtown not far from the government lot next to where zebos was

It sounds like St. Croix.

Yes - it is STX.

Sorry, it's a small shop in C'sted.

I hate to see it close. I imagine we will see more closings in the next year or so. It is the natural evolution of things and the fall out of Hovensa closing and the world economy as a whole. A crucian told me a few months ago "we" are not going anywhere. We weathered Hugo and the Fountain Valley massacre. Our island has passed through many hands but we go on. This time is a small part of our history, people come and go. We will continue the way we always have. Good or bad we go on.

I felt a bit inspired by those words.

that is sad. another popular stx "institution" having to close. downtown will not be the same without those two nice ladies.

Oh Duh,Coconut Vine the store....thought like in"island gossip". Sorry to hear, always great stuff in there!

It's sad the local people won't/can't support the local businesses.

islandtime, no wonder you were asking what store. thanks for the chuckle.

stxoldie, most locals will not spend that much money on clothes-they go to rainbow and those type of stores.

It is always sad when a business closes. I heard Louie Vuitton is opening. Anybody heard about that?

Must be STT. The business that is the subject of this thread is on STX.

The group that has the Stanford holdings is trying to "upscale" Christiansted & is trying to get Louie Vuitton into the area where Tessoro used to be.

Wow. That would be quite the feat, indeed. Sorry I jumped to conclusions. I never would have guessed ...

Tessoro is closed?!

Tessoro moved in Csted (I can't remember where)

They are across the street from Paradise Cafe.

Louie Vuitton! A K-Mart Outlet is more likely! 🙂

Louis Vuitton???? Shouldn't we build the mega yacht harbor first?

I am pretty sure the source specified STX. There's already a LVuitton on STT at the Yacht Haven. My source works downtown. She said things are happening down there but she was vague about it.

That's what I'm hearing too. I know the EDC company that bought most of the Stanford properties (about 70 of them). There are, if we are to believe the mill, 'exciting' things happening under the radar.
