Under the purpose of saving money and time for Central American families to improve their quality of life, Walmart de México y Centroamérica has established a strong presence in Costa Rica, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, and Nicaragua for decades. The company operates 876 stores in the region, providing direct employment to over 36,000 people and creating diverse and inclusive spaces.

According to Milton Brandt, CFO and SVP Finance of Walmart de México y Centroamérica for the region, their extensive experience has enabled them to understand the needs of their customers, leading to accelerated initiatives in productivity and efficiency. This has allowed them to continue investing in a value proposition that prioritizes customer convenience.

As part of their efforts to enhance the customer experience and provide a safer environment, Walmart has implemented more self-checkout stations in their stores. They have also increased the availability of pre-packaged products, improving productivity at the point of sale and reducing product handling. 

Walmart is also embracing digital transformation by promoting omnichannel capabilities and financial services, such as e-commerce. This new channel, launched during the pandemic, has become an essential revenue stream for supermarkets. Additionally, Walmart recognizes the growing importance of remittances, which play a significant role in their overall strategy.
