MarketBridge

MarketBridge is a prominent retail chain headquartered in Antigua and Barbuda, offering a wide selection of consumer goods, including groceries, fashion, electronics, and home essentials. Since its founding in 2019, the company has become a major player in the Caribbean retail market, providing a convenient and modern shopping experience for both locals and tourists. MarketBridge focuses on delivering quality products at competitive prices while promoting local and regional brands.

The company was founded by entrepreneur Rachel Thomas, who envisioned creating a chain of stores that would offer a comprehensive range of products under one roof. MarketBridge operates with a team of over 200 employees, including store managers, customer service representatives, and logistics personnel, all committed to maintaining the highest standards of service. The chain has quickly expanded to multiple locations across Antigua and Barbuda, with plans for further expansion into neighboring Caribbean islands.

Each MarketBridge store is designed to cater to a diverse range of customer needs, featuring sections for groceries, apparel, electronics, health and beauty products, and more. The flagship store in St. John’s boasts a spacious layout, offering customers a wide variety of international brands alongside local Caribbean products. In 2021, MarketBridge launched its e-commerce platform, allowing customers to shop online and enjoy home delivery or in-store pickup services.

The company’s core values include customer satisfaction, community engagement, and sustainability. MarketBridge partners with local suppliers and producers, showcasing regional products and supporting small businesses across the Caribbean. The company is also committed to eco-friendly practices, such as reducing plastic use and offering reusable shopping bags. In 2023, the retail chain reported revenues of approximately $35 million, driven by both physical and online sales.

Looking ahead, MarketBridge plans to continue its expansion across the Caribbean, with new store openings and an enhanced digital shopping experience. The company is also exploring the introduction of private-label products and expanding its sustainable product offerings, solidifying its role as a leader in the Caribbean retail industry.
