Question Looking for lacation of the department store in Higuey

Hello
2 years ago we were on an excursion that took us into Higuey, while there we stopped off at the Iberia Supermarket It was a delightful department store and I would love to visit it again, however I don't know exactly where in Higuey it was located, I have a street map..sorry can't figure out how to attach it, but if any one could provide some directions, we will be coming from Punta Cana but I really just need to know where in Higuey the store is, maybe in relationship to the Basilica, a street address, etc??

I've also heard it called the "Dominican Walmart"

If you do have a map of Higuey:

Yellow Pages Dominicana "Paginas Amarillas" http://www.paginasamarillas.com.do
list two Iberia in Higuey:

Almacenes Iberia, CxA
Carr Mella-Seibo, Higüey
(809) 554-8222

Almacenes Iberia, CxA
Av La Altagracia 73, Higüey
(809) 746-1008

Good luck,

WebDev

Get to Tres Cruces
(three crosses) so you face Basilica and you have SICHOPROLA (bus terminal) to your back.
Take the road that runs on the left side of Basilica (as per above-facing-instructions)

(... also... coming from Punta Cana, make sure you have basilica on your RIGHT, then getting to tres cruces (first 4-way interesection AFTER basilica, make right turn) === follow the street sign to "EL SEYBO".

Pass the Esso gas station, follow straight on, pass Texaco gas station, follow straight on, and about 500 mts on your right side is Iberia.

Now for variety, I recommend Iberia.
Pricewise, I recommend Supermercado Higueyano and Zaglul.

Iberia is no Dominican Wallmart. Dominican Wallmart would be better suited to Jumbo or La Sirena megastores.
