I have it on good authority !! Wooo hooooo. They have a large lot right on the Malecon just down from what was the Swiss Gardin. The lot is being cleared and apparently there are some issues with people who have built on the back of the lot illegaly.....

Planner,

two questions.

1. Will have the grocery store as well like in santiago?
2. What ever happened to the rumor that Wallly World (Wal-Mart) bought it?

Yes they will have the grocery store and it is planned for - I believe - Oct 2008 opening.... not totally sure on that one.

La Sirena is a very large Department style store with a huge grocery store attached. In many ways it is one stop shopping.

I am told that they are in negotiations with Walmart.

Not as a restaurant I'm afraid - I used to love Maria's 'Swiss Potato mix/mash' with a plate of veal(pork) or lemon chicken on the side!!

They have turned the downstairs into 4 more apartments, but James & Maria are still there running the place! ~ Grahame.

last time i heard they were negotiating with wallmart, i wonder if the sale will bring any changes to the set up of the shop...
but the deal in POP is done, la sirena (wallmart) is coming!
hopefully POP will move into 20th century.... ;)

Whatever the price and name (La Sirena/Walmart)...... this is great news!
POP shopping is so limited and it would be such an improvement to have a better selection without having to go to Santiago.

Forgive me if I don't positively salivate at the thought of a Walmart coming to Puerto Plata...................:rolleyes: but I do have a question: given the location where is the parking going to be?

Make my day! Underground? :laugh:
