At the rib­bon-cut­ting cer­e­mo­ny for the soon-to-be-opened new Courts Mega­s­tore in El So­cor­ro yes­ter­day, vice pres­i­dent and man­ag­ing di­rec­tor for Uni­com­er Caribbean Fe­lix Siman III ex­plained that the $180 mil­lion in­vest­ment in the lo­ca­tion was just phase one of the group’s plan for the space.

“Our lat­est in­vest­ment here in the Mega­s­tore and in the Mega Plaza is of al­most $180 mil­lion in this Courts Mega­s­tore project and it re­in­forces our con­fi­dence in this mar­ket and our be­lief in the po­ten­tial of the peo­ple we serve. And we’re not done yet.
