So, could someone remind me where the 'new' Rima store is? If I were standing in front of the courthouse with my back to the ocean, which way would I head, and about how far? Thanks!

Turn left. Not far. Can’t miss it. Big yellow building.

Pretty sure it's left, but no big yellow building. Just a storefront. The big yellow building has been Blue Point for a few years.

OK, thanks.

I think it just past DK Gems walking away from Courthouse same side of road. Will be heading there this afternoon so will pay more attention.

OK, thanks much!

They had a store on Cannegieter street across from Nagico Ins.

They have a store on Front Street now, Wendell..

When we were there this was a wholesale store but they sold to retail. We bought in bulk it was about $8 per dress or shirt.

w.

There today....much smaller but still very nice and great prices ,very helpful and glad to see us back....dave

Wendell--We went to that store, but they didn't have the type of dresses I like. They were all spaghetti strap or kind of a rayon or gauze, and I don't like those. I was hoping the new store would carry more different types of dresses.

Carol, it's location is exactly as I said above. Took a video, but posting it is another thing.

thanks!

Carol, they do have a few different types of dresses, if I remember right.

There was also a store heading back towards DK , that had dresses, a bit pricier, but there were
many styles.

Terri--If we can tear ourselves away from Beachside and go to town, which is not a sure thing (since I LOATHE going to town these days), we will definitely try out the new store.

I understand, but I wanted to spend some money on my grandchildren, get spices etc., from Juggie and stay out of the sun.
We can't wait to return!! The have been posting some gorgeous pictures from Beachside.
I feel like it's been forever, since we left--LOL
---but it took a long time for us to get back, so we need more time to catch up.

It has been forever since we've been there, but so glad we actually have TWO trips booked this year!

Carol, there's a store on Back Street that had some nice dresses last visit. Of course I can't remember the name of it. if you walked down Front street to the end and rounded onto Back Street from there it's a short way in on the left. Run by a hospitable Indian gentleman. Lots of slack sets too, top and bottom matching but only some tops had design on them, either cut outs or embroidery.

I bought a top, turquoise with white stitching at neck, comes down below stomach. I didn't really want it because it reminded me of something I"d bought at Emporium India back in the '60's but hubby like it. I think it was $9.

I've been to the other store, they didn't have anything I wanted. It's called Kenny's, I think.

Kenny's is on Front St. and near DK Gems.

OK, Kenny's is NOT the new store, so I am really confused now.

Kenny's has been there for several years and was supposedly the "go to" place after the big store closed. I was not impressed with it.

But again, as far as I know, they opened up a 'new' store that is actually branded "Rima" a few months ago, so that's where I was asking about.

No idea on that but I did check out the Kenny's store and posted about it in the past. Perhaps the Kenny's store has been redone? Wasn't Jeff B blowing off about this a while back?

I think that Kenny's store is still there, but there is now a name brand Rima store, I believe.

Love Rima!

I was in the Rima store a couple of weeks ago......

Where is the location?

Does anyone have a picture of the new Rimas? I keep thinking it must be Kenny’s. I have been there many times. It seems to be in the location everyone describes.

I wonder if maybe they aren't open yet in the new store? If not, I'm not interested in just going to Kenny's..

I sent them a message from their facebook page but have not received a reply.

Let me know if you receive a reply.

Rima's on Front Street is open. Trying to upload video.

Elaine--You can't upload videos directly to TTOL. If you have it uploaded somewhere else, obviously you can post a link. Looking forward to hopefully seeing it!

Yep, slowly uploading to YouTube. Just got my laptop from the doctor!

Here you go. Starting at Rima's ending at DK Jems. Courthouse is ahead on left. About 5:30 Saturday afternoon.

OK, great! Thanks!!!

Sorry, I thought the directions were clear.
Standing in front of the Court House (facing it) turn left and walk down same side of
street as CH.
It's down the street about 5 minutes --Big yellow wall.

You can't miss it, but it is a little walk from Court House.
The video has me confused.....

Video is on Front street heading towards the Court House. Rima's is opposite side of street from CH.

Thanks for posting, Elaine. Now that I started all this, we probably won't even make it there!
