Lifestyle retailer Urban Outfitters joined The Mall of San Juan’s retail lineup this week, with the opening of a 10,911 square-foot store that is the first in Puerto Rico, and offers a variety of clothing and merchandise for men and women.
Puerto Rico retail sales reflected a 1.42 percent drop year-over-year in April, when activity at the cash register $44.4 million, Puerto Rico Trade and Export figures released Thursday showed.
For years it has been a customary practice to provide incentives to large foreign companies and chain stores that decide to land in Puerto Rico, from the very moment they plan to settle here.
