Puerto Rican supermarket chain Econo received the best marks in a study conducted by the Consumer Affairs Department, known as DACO, which evaluated the performance of the island’s best-known grocers.
The Puerto Rico Justice Department’s Office of Monopolistic Affairs announced Tuesday it has filed a complaint against Supermercados Econo Inc. for violations to fair competition rules after failing to notify about recent changes in its grocery store chain’s composition.
Puerto Rican consumers who have refrained from including corned beef in their shopping baskets because of how expensive it has gotten in recent years, may be happy to know that a local farmer and entrepreneur will begin selling a locally produced brand of the favorite island staple.
