AS part of Baha Mar’s ongoing efforts to deliver on its promise to transform the Bahamas, the luxury resort is also providing opportunities for Bahamian entrepreneurs.

Recently, Bahamian-owned and operated retailer Uniquely Bahamian Boutique signed on as a retailer at Baha Mar. The company, established in 2000, is a sister company to Jewels by The Sea, a fine jewellery store.

Uniquely Bahamian Boutique specialises in jewellery and other products sourced by local craftspeople.

“We are proud of the fact that, as a retailer at Baha Mar, we will create opportunities for small-scale artisans to have access to the world stage in a world-class resort. It means the difference between their craft being a hobby and being a career,” said Rory Dean, Uniquely Bahamian’s director. “Our vendors will have to get more creative, use higher-end materials and produce bigger, bolder products to appeal to the guests at Baha Mar.”

Paul Pusateri, chief operating officer at Baha Mar, added: “We are committed to showing the world the talent and creativity of the Bahamian people. Retailers such as Uniquely Bahamian share this commitment and are a critical part of bringing this vision to life. Together, we will create opportunities for Bahamians to realise their dreams, provide jobs and grow our economy.”
