Maybe this is a BYOG? Anything you have in the pantry that you no longer want, bring it to help fill the shelves?
Sounds more and more like a money laundering scheme rather than a serious business.
I thought the same thing. I went in looking for dog food & had to talk to like 3 different people to get a answer, meanwhile it was empty with no people or food on the shelves
I think they are starting to get more stuff in. They have some fresh produce though sadly some of it was starting to look a little tired when i went in. Did get a nice avocado however 
It does seem like a very strange way to start a business to me though. People come in, find very little to buy and dont come back. As a result few people are visitng and what little fresh produce they do have just sits and rots.
Surely one would want to stock up fully, have a grand opening and let the word spread that they are back in business for real.
But maybe i am not thinking in a 'normal' dominican way...
On another note i was pleased to see that they had reemployed a couple of the previous staff but very unpleased to be asked to leave my bag on the way in (never had to with CM)

Possibly they are stocking the shelves here similar to how grocery stores are stocked in Russia? I understand those shelves are "scantily clad" as well.
