Computer World has already secured a temporary home at the Daher Commercial Centre in Bois d’Orange, just across from the ashes of its destroyed building, as it works to rebuild and continue serving Saint Lucia.
Accounts services are expected to reopen first, so the company can begin reconstructing its records after losing data in the fire. The retail store is expected to follow shortly after, with a target date of Monday, March 23, 2026.
“Accounts will open first because we have to re-enter all our data,” Manager Melicia Thomas said. “Then in the following week, the store will open.”
The move comes less than two weeks after a catastrophic fire on March 6 gutted the Computer World building, destroying the storefront, warehouse and inventory.
Firefighters battled heavy smoke and hazardous materials before containing the blaze, but the damage was extensive.
“We lost everything,” Thomas said. “Some staff even lost personal items they had in the store.
“They are devastated and worried. But we work as a family, so we came together to see how we could find a new place and make sure everyone’s job is secured.”
Computer World has long been a familiar name for technology products and office supplies in Saint Lucia, serving businesses, schools and individuals with computers, printers, networking equipment and other electronics.
