Walmart de México y Centroamérica reports 12.4 percent increase in sales. Results in Central America were modest, however
Monday, October 10, 2011
Thanks to strong growth in its Mexican operations, where same-store sales increased by 4.2 percent, Walmart de México y Centroamérica recorded a 12.4 percent increase in September sales of $1.9 billion.
In Central America, however, the change to a policy of “everyday low prices” led to an initial negative impact. Same-store sales dropped by 0.7 percent.
The company plans to open 445 stores this year. In September it opened 35, of which nine were in Central America.
