Investing.com -- Walmart (NYSE:WMT) de México y Centroamérica, the Mexican and Central American arm of the multinational retail corporation, has announced plans to invest over $6 billion in Mexico in 2025. The company’s President and CEO, Ignacio Caride, shared these plans during a morning conference of the Mexican Presidency.

The investment strengthens Walmart de México y Centroamérica’s commitment to aiding Mexican families in saving money and improving their living standards. The company aims to open additional stores in Mexico under the Bodega Aurrera, Sam’s Club, Walmart Supercenter, and Walmart Express formats. This expansion is expected to create around 5,500 direct jobs, adding to the more than 3,200 stores already operational in nearly 700 municipalities across all 32 states of Mexico.

Walmart de México y Centroamérica is one of Mexico’s largest private employers. This new investment is set to bolster the more than 200,000 direct and permanent jobs the company supports in the country. The company will also continue the construction of two advanced distribution centers in Bajío and Tlaxcala, equipped with robotics and artificial intelligence technology.

The company’s contribution to Mexico’s economic development is evident in its supply chain, which includes over 33,000 suppliers, with 85% of them being Small and Medium Enterprises. Furthermore, 83% of the products sold by the company are "Made in Mexico".

With over 30 years of presence in the country, Walmart de México y Centroamérica reiterates its commitment to providing the best omnichannel shopping experience for the more than 5 million customers who shop with them daily.

Later today, during the Walmex Day 2025 event, the company will share details of its Capex investment program for Mexico and Central America in 2025. The company appreciates the trust placed in it and reaffirms its commitment to grow and contribute to Mexico’s development in the coming years.
