West
Marine SuperCenter Opens in Deltaville
West
Marine hosted their Grand Opening in mid July 2012 of their new 20,000
square foot Supercenter in the heart of Deltaville.

As many know, West Marine
has successfully operated two separate retail stores in the
Deltaville market for several years; it only makes sense to merge
the two stores for one central location. The new
West Marine Supercenter will be twice
the size of the two current retail stores combined. Plans are to
expand most all of its departments including fishing supplies,
maintenance and repair parts, sailing supplies and materials,
navigation and communication electronics, clothing and others.
West Marine's
expansion into this growing market is recognition of Deltaville
as a major hub in the yachting industry. The positive economic
impact from the marine industry in the Deltaville and
surrounding area is undisputed. It's easy to understand why West
Marine would expand in Deltaville when you consider over 10,000
seasonal recreational and commercial boaters make their home
base in Deltaville and Middlesex County. No doubt these boaters
need the products and services of West Marine as well as the
rest of the marine industry. |

June 2012 - Hurricane season is upon
us! Though hurricane season officially starts June 1 we've
already had two named storms just off the Carolina Coast,
Alberto and Beryl. Please be sure to understand your vessel
insurance and your marina's hurricane policies. In 2011
Hurricane Irene, a
category 1 storm, struck the U.S. East Coast, just skirting
Deltaville but miles. Luckily we didn't not receive much damage.
