Thank you. ANd in the meantime I had a friend read it and she pointed out that it said things were under negotiation at that time, and doesn't say that it as sold. Like I said my Spanish reading ability is not the best, I can converse all day though!
Thanks again.

This was in Thursday's DR1 News - see last sentence in bold:
Ramos Group opens another superstore
One of the nation's largest employers, the Ramos Group, opened a new Multicentro La Sirena on Jose Contreras Avenue in the University Zone in Santo Domingo last night, Wednesday 23 May. This is store number 29 for the group, which employs some 9,500 people. Company spokesman Juan Luis Fernandez said that the store is equipped with state-of-the-art technology, and is highly efficient in its use of electricity and water. The new 150,000 sq. ft. store has underground parking for nearly 200 vehicles and will be open seven days a week.
Several years ago, speculation was rife that Walmart would buy the group's La Sirena chain. When that didn't happen, the company embarked on a mega-investment plan, opening many more stores in Santo Domingo and around the country.
