REDPEPPERMALL.COM V2 LAUNCHED
June 3, 2008
Redpeppermall.com is the Caribbean shopping mall that sells Jamaican and Caribbean products such as Rasta hats, domino sets and Jerk Seasoning, to Ackee in the tin, rum cakes and Rasta Clothing. From Blue Mountain Coffee to Island Souvenirs and all the foods, things to wear and look at you can think of. They have a pretty decent range of products. Well, they got a new look online, moved their warehousing to Miami (shipping from Jamaica to anywhere is a profit killer) and has kicked into high gear to further establish themselves as the leading online mall for Caribbean products. We wish the husband and wife team of owners lots of luck.
