About Pressto
Pressto is a Spanish dry-cleaning and laundry chain, and Grupo Ramos has run it in the Dominican Republic since 2001 under a master franchise agreement with Pressto España — so the shops are the group's but the name is not. Grupo Ramos chose to operate the outlets itself rather than sub-franchise them, building a network concentrated in Santo Domingo with further stores in Santiago de los Caballeros, San Francisco de Macorís, Puerto Plata and Higüey.

About the owner: Grupo Ramos
Grupo Ramos is a privately held company headquartered in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, founded in 1965.
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.
