AGP Executive Report

Last update: an hour ago

Franchise Shake-up: KFC and Taco Bell have temporarily closed all Puerto Rico locations after Yum! Brands ended its deal with local operator Encanto Restaurants. The governor ordered job-search and aid support for affected workers. Cooperatives: The sector reported a record $12.6 billion in assets and 1.16 million members, with new laws expanding lending options and raising capital requirements for new cooperatives. Tourism Investment: Hilton plans nine hotels across San Juan, Ponce and Arecibo, adding about 2,000 rooms as it doubles its Puerto Rico presence. Energy Costs: Supermarkets say electricity bills jumped as much as 39% from September to October, increasing pressure on operating costs and food prices. Meanwhile, participation in Sunrun’s Puerto Rico home-battery program doubled in 2026.
