Recently Walmart anounced the opening of four new locations with an estimated capital investment of $200 million dollars. Another player with sales exeeding original projections on the island is Burlington who is accelerating local market expansion with a $30 million investment. CVS Pharmacy also continues expansion and announced an investment of $400 million dollars within the next five years.

New retail players have seen the great retail opportunities on the island. Nordstrom is walking around looking for their first location, Target and Lowe's are also looking for locations, Aaron's and Save-a-Lot targeted Puerto Rico for expansion just to mention a few.
