Sam's Mission

Our mission at Sam's is to guarantee the satisfaction of every customer by offering the highest quality products at the lowest possible prices, and standing behind everything we sell. 

Here's what some sources have said about Sam's:

"The strategy helps [Sam's Caribbean Marketplace] cater to specific tastes, such as those of customer Cecile Wong.  Ms. Wong, who is of Jamaican-Chinese descent, eagerly picked up a bottle of Jamaican Chinese soy sauce one recent afternoon.  'I find this store has the most variety that is Jamaican and Chinese,' she says approvingly.  Meanwhile, some half-dozen non-Caribbean customers a day stroll in looking for particular jerk sauces for barbecues."

--Entrepreneur.com, July 17, 2003

    "...loyal customers also come from Brooklyn and Queens or travel from as far away as Riverhead, Long Island, which is 60 miles to the east.  Customers comment on the 'everything under the sun' inventory at Sam's and mention the friendly and efficient attitude of the staff." 

--New York Daily News, Caribbeat Magazine, August/September, 2002

"Sam's Caribbean Marketplace...caters to some 10,000 customers a month of all ethnic groups.  Customers drive as long as an hour to sample several dozen types of hot sauces, canned products, curry brands, reggae music and even cookbooks."  

--The Wall Street Journal, Oct. 17, 2000

"Go around the back, and there in the parking lot is a bright, airy and friendly store that stocks items imported from a number of islands, especially Jamaica and Dominica. 

"[Sam's Caribbean Marketplace] is definitely worth seeking out when you want a selection of hot pepper sauces, jerk seasonings, spices like cinnamon leaves, tropical fruit concentrates and drinks, and some unusually tasty preserves...." 

--The New York Times, January 26, 1994

The first time we tried to go to Sam's Caribbean Marketplace, at 43D Main St.. in Hempstead, we couldn't find it. That's because the 2-month-old, 1,600-square-foot market is entered from the parking lot. But we were glad when we finally found a store stocked with ethnic foods, such as guava jelly and passion fruit jams, hot pepper sauces, juice concentrates made from guava, tamarind, passion fruit and key limes. There are Caribbean spices, sauces and HTB buns flown in from Jamaica weekly.
