A dispute involving money and the terms of a lease has unraveled a long-standing business partnership in San Juan's food industry and in its aftermath, a popular restaurant will split into two distinct eateries separated, as Berlin once was, by a wall.
Puerto Rico’s thriving food truck scene recently welcomed its newest player, “Dondesea,” which recently rolled into a permanent spot on Ponce de León Avenue in Santurce, a few blocks away from the Ciudadela complex.
Walmart Supercenter Santurce opens its doors to the public at 6 a.m. today and the company expects between 10,000 and 12,000 visitors on its first day of business.
Doctors' Center Hospital's multi-million dollar emergency room annex, currently under construction at Stop 20 in Santurce, is still several months away from completion but management already is counting on it to boost the hospital's visibility.
The list of once thriving companies dragged under by Puerto Rico's long-running recession and the tightening of the bank credit spigot keeps growing longer. The recent demise of Rigual Inc., a popular wholesale/retailer of floral and party supplies based in a quiet San Juan neighborhood for 61 years, is just one more example of how the ongoing economic climate can undo decades of success and hard work by management and employees.
Just in time for its 50th anniversary in Puerto Rico in 2012, the Salvation Army is flexing its muscles with the move of its central headquarters to a Santurce building and the construction of a multiple-use community center in Guayama. Both projects represent a hefty $30 million investment in the island’s economy.
