The building that will house the new Budget Marine BVI chandlery and marine store is well on its way to completion. Construction started in March and is due to finish at the end of July, with the store opening at the end of August.

Time lapse of the “skeleton” construction over two days:

The new store will have 4,000 square feet of retail space on the ground floor with offices and 2,000 square feet of warehouse space on the second floor.

The larger space will enable Budget Marine BVI to offer a larger selection of products and maintain a larger inventory on-island.

The second floor space not being used by Budget Marine will house additional lockers.

Back in March, Budget Marine salesman Orville just couldn’t wait to get into the new location in Nanny Cay so he set himself up in the future location before the construction is complete.
