Edwin D. Layne and Sons Limited, was founded in 1948 by the husband and wife team of, Edwin Layne from Calliaqua and Clara (nee Nanton) Layne from Edinboro, and has now been in existence for over 60 years. The children of the Laynes family are very much still involved in the management and operation of this entirely Vincentian owned company, catering principally to the domestic market - St. Vincent and the Grenadines.
 
From its early beginnings as a small dry goods department store in Middle Street, the company has grown to a general department store that spans from Middle to Bay Street, and two hardware stores in operation; one on Bay Street and the other on Grandby Street. Layne's also has a new and developing facility at Arnos Vale. We are vendors to retail and wholesale markets as well as local agents for foreign manufacturers.
 
At our dry goods location, we supply fabric and ready-to-wear clothing for men, women and children as well as a wide range of household, bedroom and decorative materials and items.
 
At our hardware locations, we carry a full stock of building materials, tools and paints
 
We are proud to have with us many loyal and dedicated staff members, some of whom have been with us for over 25 years. We are an equal opportunity employer and welcome hearing from committed and motivated individuals interested in pursuing a career in the retail/ wholesale business environment.
 
We are proud to be Vincentians catering to our community, and thank all our loyal friends for their support over the years. We look forward to serving you for more to come.
