[NewsWhore]

President Leonel Fernandez hosted directors from the National Association of Supermarkets, a US-based group that brings together 400 Dominican businesses with yearly sales exceeding US$2 billion, at the Presidential Palace yesterday. The President spoke during the ceremony and then took some time out to reminisce about his first job at the age of 14, as a delivery boy at a supermarket between 95th and 96th street in New York City. The President congratulated the "bodegueros" and said that they are the DR's most positive representation. The business group is here to attend the government sponsored Farm Produce Fair, a trade show taking place at the Dominican Fiesta Hotel this weekend.
