PriceSmart, Inc. (NASDAQ: PSMT) is the largest operator of membership warehouse clubs in Central America and the Caribbean.
We serve over 1 million cardholders at 26 owned and operated warehouse clubs in 11 countries and one U.S. territory. PriceSmart
was pioneered by Sol and Robert Price, founders of The Price Club; Robert Price is Chairman of the Board and CEO.
PriceSmart’s membership club model is similar in many respects to U.S. clubs like Costco and Sam’s, with some differences:
● Smaller store size (50,000 to 75,000 sq. ft.) to align with the size of the markets in which we operate
● Lower membership fees – average mid $20’s
● Merchandise tailored to local preferences as well as for retail and wholesale customers
Currently PriceSmart warehouse clubs can be found in the following countries: Costa Rica (5),
El Salvador (2), Guatemala (3) Honduras (2), Nicaragua (1), Panama (4), Aruba (1), Barbados (1),
Dominican Republic (2), Jamaica (1), Trinidad and Tobago (3), and U.S. Virgin Islands (1). Online
shopping is available to our members in Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, and Panama.
PriceSmart believes it is well positioned to profit from the growth in developing markets due to its purchasing power and
experience with membership warehouse clubs in these areas.
