Walmart in Bani
 

I read on a forum that there was a Walmart headed to Bani lol now i cant find where I read it
Any truth to this report?

Oh i dont live in RD but some great friends have a Orphanage between Bani and Azua

there is no walmart in DR. we have a chain called la sirena. they are, supposedly, in talks with walmart. the whole of the business may be sold.

That's how La Sirena super stores are being titled by the current insiders info in the DR...

There's going to be a La Sirena (*Walmart) super store on each town of discernible population size in the DR, one after the other, non-stop...

sold.. here comes Walmart's

Dios mio!
My wife and I live north of NYC and we have plenty of Walmarts in our area. Interestingly enough my wife went shopping there today and told me she noticed Dominican products selling at Walmart. I asked her what items and she said:
Baby Formula, Dominican Carnation milk, Noodles (aka sopitas) all Dominican brands....I will have to see it with my own eyes to confirm and report back.
I wonder how Walmarts pick and or choose what items/goods to sell at their locations?
Or is la Sirena dumping their goods early in an effort to sell off items here at our Walmarts? I think this is all very interesting....
I hope that the Walmarts dont get trashed....that seems to be a problem in many locations here in the USA, some stores just look terrible and or destroyed when customers finish at the end of a day....sigh

Finally. It is almost official. Kind of. Sort of. It says that the Super Pola is not being sold. How will that work in places that have both the La Sirena and Super Pola Markets in the same space?

Hmmm...


Don't know anything about this! Honest!

oh sorry, you know I did not read carefully enough or remember my source. DT is not really a news source since they just translate with babblefish and then put on a title... so i assumed that when the headline said SOLD it meant SOLD not rumored to be on the brink of being sold....ah journalism

Trasciende Grupo Ramos habría vendido La Sirena a cadena Wall-Mart

Maybe the above is a reliable source?

No way!

it is not the source, it is the headline.. it has not yet been sold but my Spanish grammar is lacking here

habria vendido

The Conditional, Conditional Perfect, and “If” Clauses in Spanish

experts, please?!?!?!

I thought PICHARDO was in talks with someone "inside" the Grupo Ramos....what's the deal then? LOL

The deal is Nuevo Diario reports that Walmart bought La Sirena for $800M.

"habria vendido" - I am going with "have sold". I will believe it when I see WalMart signs going on the buildings, but that is just the objective realist in me.

will have sold....habria vendido, no?

LOL! Now THIS blows Agora mall completely away PICHARDO! http://www.dr1.com/forums/images/smilies/happy.gif
Very green and ample parking all over! By the looks of it it's not even far from water rides and or plenty of mobile 'food courts'.
PA'ALANTE! http://www.dr1.com/forums/images/smilies/happy.gif

or "would have sold", but I am sticking with "have sold" because I am trying to be optimistic.
