PesoRama Celebrates Expansion with Store #19 Opening Outside of Mexico City

Toronto, Ontario–(Newsfile Corp. – April 8, 2022) – PesoRama Inc. (TSXV: PESO) (“PesoRama” or the “Company“), a Canadian company operating dollar stores in Mexico under the JOi Canadian Stores (“JOi“) brand, today announces the opening of store #19 in Cuernavaca, Mexico. Cuernavaca is in an easily accessible, high traffic shopping centre with a diverse tenant mix of big box and smaller stores.

“We are excited to announce the opening of a new store in the capital of Morelos state, south of Mexico City,” said Erica Fattore, President & Chief Executive Officer of PesoRama. “As we look to strategically expand across Mexico, the Cuernavaca store represents the broad appeal of our brand and expansion potential. As an equal opportunity employer, our stores benefit local communities by hiring women in key roles and offering carefully curated affordable products that appeal to local tastes.”

“As the only operator of dollar stores in Mexico, PesoRama has first mover advantage and ambitious growth plans to serve the opportunity presented by the Mexican retail market,” said Rahim Bhaloo, Founder & Executive Chairman of PesoRama. “The Mexican retailing gap provides us with an opportunity to significantly scale our stores across the country in the months and years ahead, mirroring the success of dollar stores in Canada and the United States. On the heels of our recent public listing, our expansion shows our strategy is uniquely meeting the needs of the purchasing power of Mexico’s growing middle class.”
