About Us
Owned by the Kirkconnell family, local business and community leaders for six generations, Kirk Freeport Plaza Ltd. is recognised as a world-class marketplace by international designers and manufacturers of high-quality merchandise. The company has 22 stores, 21 of which are on Grand Cayman, and stocks the widest range of duty-free products in the Caribbean.
Having built the largest duty-free enterprise in the Cayman Islands from the humble beginnings of just a few jewellery counters in the community grocery store, Kirk Freeport founder Captain Eldon Kirkconnell is passing the business onto the next two generations of his family. Daily operations are now handled by Managing Director and Graduate Gemologist Gerry Kirkconnell and by his sister, Director Debbie Guyton. Two of Capt. Eldon's grandchildren, Christopher and Daniel, also work in the company as Vice Presidents.
The family influence in the company is evident with every transaction. Thanks to their professionalism, expertise and devotion to clients, Kirk Freeport's sales staff are skilled at helping people pick the perfect gift whilst they enjoy one of the Caribbean's best shopping experiences.
Kirk Freeport Plaza Ltd. has been a premier retailer of duty free jewellery, watches, fragrances, leather, crystal and china, and accessories in the Cayman Islands since 1972. The company currently operates 22 retail stores in Grand Cayman and Cayman Brac, employing over 200 people. In 2009 after a reorganisation of the 113 year old Kirkconnell Brothers group, Kirk Freeport joined Kirk Supermarket, Kirk Marine, and Kirk Distributors to form Kirk Group.
