I think when it comes down to their kids like Brugal, Presidente, and Helados Bon they will protect these guys at all cost. Going into every colmado and seeing a Presidente cooler is a bit of an overkill. I have never saw a Coors Light cooler in the DR. I applaud the DR for protecting its own brands before allowing a giant like Nestle to come in a manipulate the market like they have done in other markets.
You want read something really funny? If you buy Cheerios in Chicago is made by General Mills, but in Santo Domingo its by Nestle. If you buy Haagen Dazs in Chicago its produce by Nestle and in Santo Domingo its produce by General Mills.
