About Supermercados Econo

Enid Barillas, owner and operator of Healthy Path, has built her three-store chain into one of Puerto Rico's most respected grocery brands through smart technology adoption and exceptional customer service.

Yet, like many independent grocers, Healthy Path faced a major challenge. With volatile supplier costs, the need to remain competitive, and the constant demand for updating price labels, store managers were stretched thin.

Solution

BetterBasket helped Healthy Path integrate Electronic Shelf Labels (ESLs), bringing real-time, automated pricing to the store.

Why Small Grocers Can't Afford to Wait

While ESLs may seem like a costly investment, the reality is that independent grocers lose more by not modernizing. Automation and AI-driven pricing don’t just save time—they unlock new margin opportunities.



Stores using BetterBasket’s technology see 8-10% margin gains from smarter pricing strategies, all while freeing up staff to focus on what matters most: customer service.
