Colgate and Walmart Puerto Rico recently joined forces in a fundraiser through which they collected $5,000 that were donated to nonprofit Enactus Puerto Rico, to support sustainable development projects in economically disadvantage communities on and off the island.
With an investment of $38 million and the creation of 256 new jobs, Walmart inaugurated Wednesday a new Supercenter in Hatillo, through which it hopes to positively impact the commercial activity of the island’s northwest area and economic development as a whole.
The business relationship between local frappe maker La Frutera and Walmart Supercenters has helped the local chain find growth, as more than half of its sales, or 54 percent, are generated through its presence within the mega-retailer, company officials said.
