Island roots.
A fresh chapter.

The Fruit Bowl has been a proud part of the St. Thomas community since 1975, when my father, Marty, opened the store with a commitment to quality, integrity, and exceptional service. Growing up in St. Thomas, I had the privilege of witnessing firsthand the meaningful relationships he built with his customers and the community he loved so dearly.

After spending many years living in the States, I am incredibly grateful to be back home. When my father retired following The Fruit Bowl’s fiftieth anniversary, my husband and I were honored to carry on the tradition he built and take the next chapter of this family business forward. Returning to St. Thomas and becoming part of The Fruit Bowl’s future has been both exciting and deeply meaningful for us.

Our goal is to continue The Fruit Bowl in the same spirit and with the same values my father established from the very beginning. Marty took great pride in serving his community, and we feel privileged to honor his legacy by continuing that commitment. We look forward to welcoming familiar faces, building new relationships, and preserving the sense of community that has made The Fruit Bowl a special part of St. Thomas for more than fifty years.

My name is Adam Peck. I first met my wife in my fourth-grade class in 1980. After some years, we started dating in high school, and I officially married into the Goldberg family in December 1993. I first visited St. Thomas in 1987. I have always loved the ocean, the beaches, fishing, and sports. From the beginning, I felt connected to the Virgin Islands and have made at least one trip each year for nearly forty years.

Wendy and I raised a family in Florida over the years, but always stayed connected to St. Thomas and the family business. My background is in product development, merchandising, and global sourcing in a retail environment. I use these skills every day at The Fruit Bowl.

We look forward to maintaining the high-quality standards The Fruit Bowl has upheld for the past fifty years. At the same time, we nurture thousands of strong customer connections every day.

James Clark has been part of The Fruit Bowl since 1982, bringing decades of experience, knowledge, and dedication to the store. He is an expert on just about everything you will find on our shelves.

Beloved by locals, James oversees the store’s daily operations, staff management, and customer service. You can find him at The Fruit Bowl pretty much every day, greeting customers with a smile. He is a familiar, friendly face who knows many of our customers by name—and they know him by name, too.

The Fruit Bowl’s success over the past fifty years is partly due to dedicated team members like James, whose commitment and passion have made the store such a special part of the community. The next time you stop by, be sure to say hello.
