ESTABLISHED CARIBBEAN BOUTIQUE - ISLAND LIFESTYLE OPPORTUNITY
Imagine waking up on a gorgeous Caribbean island and heading to your own charming boutique, where you spend your day surrounded by beautiful products and interesting people. Other days, your employees run the show while you snorkel, dive, hike, sail, kayak, explore the rainforest and enjoy living on a tropical island!
Susan Mango is a profitable women's clothing and accessory boutique located in the heart of historic Christiansted, St. Croix, US Virgin Islands. Operating successfully since 2017, this turnkey business offers the unique opportunity to own a charming retail establishment in paradise.

About the Business
- Years in Operation
- 9
- Employees
- 3 Part-time
- Facilities & Assets
- Includes $32,000 inventory (at cost), established vendors, trained employees, loyal and repeat customers - both local and tourists, all furnishings, POS, displays, supplies, 1.2K Facebook followers. This is a totally turnkey business that has been managed remotely for the past 4 years.
- Market Outlook / Competition
- St Croix is the largest (and best - in my opinion!) of the US Virgin Islands and sees steady tourism alongside a strong local and retiree community. As a US Territory, there are no import/export issues, no passport required for US citizens and the dollar is the local currency. While the island does receive cruise ships, we attract more tourists that stay for a week or two - and spend more. There are a handful of other women's apparel and accessory boutiques on St Croix, each with its own distinct style and customer base. The local boutique community has traditionally respected brand exclusivity, allowing each shop to maintain its own unique identity and minimize product overlap.
- Opportunities for Growth
- We have never developed on-line sales. I see this as a major growth opportunity. Other future plans are to turn the ceiling into a profit center by adding island style lighting for sale. The local research looks excellent for adding this under-developed (on St Croix) category.

About the Sale
