About Aprezio
Aprezio is the discount format Grupo Ramos launched in 2012 under the slogan "cerca de ti con los precios más bajos" — close to you, with the lowest prices. It stocks household staples in small stores placed inside residential neighbourhoods, and is the group's answer to a market where a large share of grocery shopping is still done within walking distance of home.

About the owner: Grupo Ramos
Grupo Ramos is a privately held company headquartered in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, founded in 1965. Brandtree records 4 brands under its control.
Grupo Ramos is a Dominican retailer that describes itself as the country's leader in retail sales. It dates itself to 1 December 1965, when Román Ramos Uría — a Spaniard who had emigrated to the Caribbean in 1959 and joined Almacenes La Sirena as an employee in April 1963 — bought a small store on Avenida Mella in Santo Domingo. The group now runs the Sirena multicentros, the Sirena Market supermarkets and the Aprezio discount chain, develops the Multiplaza centres those stores anchor, and says it was the first company in the Dominican hypermarket and supermarket sector to adopt an omnichannel strategy, in 2019.
