Kimelman moved to St. Thomas after investing in the islands' earliest first-class resort hotel, the Virgin Isle, which he later leased on hugely favorable terms to Hilton. Kimelman and his brother-in-law acquired the distributorships of a number of name-brand liquors, including Cherry Heering, Grand Marnier and J & B Scotch.
