Walmart in Bani
I guessed it meant "may have sold" or "is thought to have sold" and then tried clicking on the link, but it's dead.
So I went to El Nuevo Diario and searched on "Sirena" and this is what I got, dated today:
Grupo Ramos niega rumores de supuesta venta de La Sirena

this is the kind of problem of such an "informal" or closed economy. As La Sirena is not listed or trades publicly, any info can turn to be right or false as long as the controller wants to disclose it or not. When listed you are obligued to release info to the market and regulators. Walmat arrived to Chile by aquiring the largest supermarket chain 4 years ago, until now the local name has been kept, and they added an small "of Walmart" legend to the main logo. To the consumer all seems to be the same, with a very "shy" or timid introduction of "Great Value" products, their generic or house brand.
maybe they just WANT to sell to Walmarts and are trying to get their attention! plant a rumour, deny a rumour.. in the states neither story would meet the level of journalism for a major paper.
Simply put there's "talk" and nothing more than that at this point in time.
Maybe some soul took a peek and saw something they should not have and mistook the "visit" for a biz deal...
I told you here (DR1 another thread) that La Sirena needs to expand a bit before any handshakes move to the ink phase...
It's not selling for the last time, but partnership of sorts...
This is the same hooplah people that didn't know what was going on during some visits back when Presidente was busy, busy, busy creating a partnership it had to deny any sale being made to eventually make public the partnership via shares and a new byway company.
La Sirena is going to be the same deal people, make no mistake about it. I told yo here (go and read) that Grupo Ramos made a back offer too sweet for Walmart to put down and walk away from. There's a gentlemen agreement, no contracts or papers, that will have La Sirena expanding all over the DR with aggressive actions for a good time.
Once the coverage is good, the partnership of equals will take place, just like Presidente did for their brands...
I won't be the first or second to know about when that deal is made, but sure as hell won't be fourth in line to get the BB...
That's why I posted as quoted above... Honest!
Hey! Stick to DR1 and you'll always hear it first here and the truth to kick!
On the other hand, Home Depot is close to moving to the DR! Lots of suits again visiting somebody new in their office...
No wonder I can't learn Spanish, it's so confusing.

ANyone who thinks that they are entering a partnership of equals with Walmart's has a very very big head!
Walmart's is not just another chain store, It is THE chain store.
OF course, if they just trade for Walmart stock, then they may think that they are equals in wealth
but I doubt if they are going to stay with the La Sirena signs in the long run.. branding is too important
It's not a partnership of both markets, but within a single DR market! Big difference! And Walmart would not be able to compete here so easy as you think with the local hypermarkets as many take it.
Just go an read up the type of partnership Presidente carried out with Ambev to understand this one a bit more as I said is gonna go down (if).
About branding? La Sirena would go to the regional markets in the Caribbean and Walmart would be name that is in all existing and coming up Sirenas...
Trasciende Grupo Ramos habr?a vendido La Sirena a cadena Wall-Mart
"would" does not work
" might have been sold" seems to work
Trasciende Grupo Ramos habr?a vendido La Sirena a cadena Wall-Mart

Transcends Group Ramos would have sold the siren to chain like wal-mart

It comes out Group Ramos would have sold The Siren to chain Wall-Mart
those are the results from Spanish dictionary ...
which gives the round to Chiri who said something like that.. it appears that
now, in English this is the beginning of a subordinate clause/// as in Would have sold if only they could count that high, as in would have sold if only they could figure out how to get to Arkansas // as in would have sold if only Walmart knew that they existed
so...how to make it make sense in English
