Puerto Rican consumers are increasingly becoming more sophisticated and savvy when it comes to buying the food they consume, as they look for quality at good prices, the Food Marketing Industry and Distribution Chamber said Wednesday during a “sneak peek” of this year’s Consumer X-Ray study results.
Wal-Mart Stores Inc. announced Thursday the appointment of Jaime Fernández Palacios as general manager for the Puerto Rico region, where the retailer operates 55 Walmart, Sam’s Club, Amigo and Súper Ahorro stores.
Wal-Mart and Sam’s Club are joining forces with the Health Department in a vaccination drive for children and youth between the ages of two months and 18 years. The health clinics will take place April 25-30 at stores throughout the island.
