The supermarket belongs to the company Las Américas TCC Corporation, based in Miami and whose vice president is Frank Cuspinera Medina.

HAVANA TIMES – The opening of a wholesale supermarket in Havana under the name Diplomarket in December last year went unnoticed. Only an ad on Instagram for the company, dedicated until then only to online purchases and shipping, gave an account of the opening of the establishment, located at kilometer 8 ½ of the Carretera Monumental, in the neighborhood of Berroa, more than 6 miles east of the center of the capital.

The owner of the "Cuban Costco" has been on a hunger strike for two weeks in a prison in Cuba

Frank Cuspinera, founder of the Diplomarket supermarket, has been on a hunger strike in prison since June 1, protesting what he considers an unjust legal process.
