With roots dating back to the 1890s, Acado St. Lucia is one of the island’s largest and most progressive distributors of consumer products. The Company was founded in 1891 as Peter & Company by William Peter, initially operating as a coaling business. In 1961, J. N Goddard & Sons of Barbados acquired a majority stake.
Over time, the company expanded into food & beverage, building materials, and Nissan automotive dealerships and developed its own retail stores (PCD Food Mart, PCD Wines & Spirits & PCD Wet & Cold Express).
