Wal-Mart Stores Inc., announced Monday the appointment of Carmen Kingston as general manager for the district of Puerto Rico, responsible for the 11 Sam's Club membership stores on the island.
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.
As it readies to inaugurate its new signature store at Stop 18, Walmart is forging ahead with its plan to restructure its Puerto Rico store base by converting Walmart stores into supercenters. Another priority is buying more local products.
