Any recommendation on where to get snacks, liquor, beer, soda, water on the trip from the Airport to Fisherman's Reef? Is rum truly a deal on St Thomas?

Do you mean Frenchmans reef? and yes there is a Pueblo (grocery store ) on your right about a 1/4 mile from the airport on your way.

Do you mean Frenchman's Reef? There is a Pueblo supermarket en route. When you get to the end of the waterfront road and are ready to turn right to go past Havensight and towards Frenchman's Reef, keep left and Pueblo is kitty corner across the road, And, yes, rum is "a deal" as is most alcohol, with Cruzan rum (dark, light and a bevy of incredible flavours) being most popular.

lip and I were writing at the same time! Yes, there is the other Pueblo closer to the airport but I always rather forget that one as it always seemed a bit "dumpier" than the one at Havensight. Cheers!
