Wimpy owns Wimpy’s, a fancy grocery store in town. It carries mostly American foods and has air conditioning. Wimpy himself is an American marine who married a wealthy Dominican woman. He’s muscled with lots of tattoos, and he sometimes flexes his muscles to amuse children. As the novel progresses, Anita discovers that Wimpy is involved in the resistance movement. It’s likely his store is being used to store weapons and other materials for the resistance. He remains in the Dominican Republic after Anita and Mami leave and he employs Chucha in his store. It’s unclear if he’s ever arrested for his involvement in the resistance.
