Local retailer Grand Way will inaugurate a new store at Plaza Centro Mall in Caguas on Oct. 27, shopping center officials said Tuesday.
“Plaza Centro welcomes Grand Way, a local retailer committed to satisfy the tastes of the Puerto Rican family with clothing and accessories for the whole family as well as home furnishings,” said Aracelis Cintrón, director of specialty leasing and marketing at Plaza Centro Mall.
“Grand Way will complement Plaza Centro’s mix of stores and will provide more shopping alternatives to our customers,” she said.
Grand Way is a local company founded more than 20 years ago, with 12 stores on the island, employing some 400 people. The Plaza Centro store will occupy a 10,000 square-foot space and will create 35 jobs.
“We chose to set up a store at Plaza Centro Mall for the diversity of clients it serves and for being a mall that caters to the needs of the Puerto Rican family. We’re sure that this store will be a total success,” said Kanan Alkhatib, president of Grand Way Puerto Rico.
Grand Way’s inauguration follows other recent store openings at Plaza Centro Mall including Helados Ico Rico, a local artisanal sherbet kiosk that caters to local taste buds, and others that will open shortly such as Dream’s Art, specializing in collectible toys, and Sarah’s Palace, a women’s clothing store.

The general manager of this business Ruth was extremely rude to one of the employees in form of us while she was helping us with a sale. Ingrid Sanchez a great employee that have been helping us for a while was treated without respect. This is the kind of people we need to have as managers no Mrs. Ruth who seem to be very preoccupied with Miss Sanchez move rather than helping others. I understand Mrs. Ingrid Sanchez was fired right after that day. Very sad
