Caribbean Market’s Legacy Lives On

A beloved Caribbean food market on Court Street, a cultural cornerstone for nearly three decades, is closing after the founder’s passing—Trevor Waite Sr. died in February, and his family now plans to relaunch the business under a new name and location. More than a grocery store, it was a bridge between Bermudians and Caribbean islanders, helping heal historical divides through food and community. Albertha Waite recalls overcoming family resistance to her Jamaican husband and her sons’ daily battles with prejudice—challenges the market helped ease. Trevor’s passion for authentic Caribbean ingredients like ackee and callaloo, and his tireless work—even on Sundays—built the business into a beloved institution. Now, as the family grieves, they’re honoring his legacy by offering fixtures to new entrepreneurs, keeping the spirit of community alive.
