the neighbouring Western Union, add to the diversity of the compound’s offerings. Five minutes away by car, Gulf City Lowlands Mall (Lowlands) is a popular family venue, thanks to a food court of favourites (Pizza Hut, Subway, KFC, Haagen Dazs, Rituals . . .) and neighbouring MovieTowne cinema. Names like Francis Fashions, Detour, Miccles, RadioShak, Courts and Scotiabank are among the stamps of quality. Bhagan’s Superstore (grocery, drugstore and deli in one), also open on public holidays, seems to have ‘everything’ and, due to its extended opening hours, is a saviour for those with late night munchies and emergencies.
CLUE #4: For those with a money-saving thrust, shops like these are a definite must. Bargain hunters will find their stomping ground in Scarborough. Stores along Wilson Road, running alongside the market, offer a variety of affordably-priced goods. The Twenty Dollar Store (upper Scarborough near Republic Bank) is a cornucopia of decorative, household, hardware and gift items—most of them only twenty dollars each. Health conscious individuals will delight in Mr. D’s (Diamond’s) shop just off upper Wilson Road near to Pennywise. Mr. D stocks health food supplements, foods and ingredients rarely found elsewhere on the island. The store’s freshly squeezed vegetable and fruit juices as well as wholesome lunches are a deserving reward after a busy day of shopping.
