“Pueblo will continue to grow as a Puerto Rican company to serve the community with the highest standards of quality, variety, service and savings,” said Ramón Calderón, who purchased the chain in 2007 and has been upgrading its stores islandwide.

Under the concept of “New Lower Prices,” the store offers a “wall of savings” where consumers can find special offers on high consumption products.

The 38,000 square-foot grocery store features specialty coffee stations, shakes and freshly prepared meals such as pizza, pasta, burritos, hamburgers, sandwiches and soups, under the “Village Express” dining concept.

The store also houses the “Vinatería de Pueblo,” featuring a selection of wines and liquors.
