Pricemart is similar to costco but a walmart would rock. There is walmart in Brazil and Argentina so not very far fetched.

They're not. There are a couple of Dominican knock offs here already. I wouldn't say they do a booming business.

We used to have a Dunkin Donuts here,(where Wendy's is now) but they went out of business.

Yeah its called Tienda Jimenez.

Also, don't forget La Sirena. Very similar, and better (but not great) pricing.

Damn, I used to work at KK Headquarters doing training, I should have kept that job, doughnuts and girls. Maybe it's not too late to go back.
