The Barefoot Trader was a West Yarmouth landmark. It used to have a cement statue of an “Easter Island” head with a torch on top of it that was lit when the store was open. I remember it well.
Comments: Barefoot Trader
I also remember the Barefoot Trader very well. We used to go there a lot during the summers when I was little, (the 60’s and 70’s). What I remember most is the lobster lollipops and the footprints in the cement walk leading to the entrance!
Posted by Catherine Flynn Olsen from North Platte, NE on 05/17 at 08:00 PMI wouldn’t want to see how the cape has changed since the quaint days of the Barefoot Trader. I remember, though I was around 7, the store very well. We went for a couple of summers to the cape, and always rented in W Yarmouth. Yes the cement with footprints came back to me. I also think the building was a tall A Frame, like a Tiki restaurant might be. I remember tall ceilings to a peak in the center. I wish someone had a picture of the place. It was so fun to go in there. I am having a Tiki Party in July, and have rigged up my outdoor bar, and used the fishing net and float balls purchased at Barefoot Trader as decoration. Memories…
