462 Located on the corner of Principal Street and PR191 in Rio Grande�s Palmer Ward, near the entrance to El Yunque rainforest, Caribbean Trading Co. (CTC) has consistently become a �must stop� for international and local tourists in search of authentic Puerto Rican souvenirs, �made in Puerto Rico, not from China,� said CTC owner Tim Collins, or "Capt. Tim," as he calls himself.
�Our core business is working with corporate and incentive group programs held at the major resorts and hotels in the area, providing them with gifts and other services,� Collins explained, adding he chose to establish the Trading Co. near El Yunque, one of Puerto Rico�s most treasured assets and one of the biggest tourism attractions.
Collins also confirmed future expansion plans, including the opening of a restaurant and a small retail complex on the land adjacent to the existing CTC store �all aimed at contributing to both the development of our regional tourism as well as generating new economic activity.�
Doubling CTC�s retail size has enabled Collins to become a one-stop shop for tourists, with an extensive merchandise mix that includes fine cigars from Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic and Jamaica, tastings of a variety of Puerto Rican coffees, a selection of hot sauces and locally made souvenirs, and arts & crafts.
