PriceSmart announced that it plans to move forward with opening what will be its 46th warehouse club on June 17, 2020 in Liberia, Costa Rica.

Sherry S. Bahrambeygui, Chief Executive Officer, commented, “In March 2020, when we first began to appreciate the uncertainties created by the COVID-19 pandemic, we temporarily suspended significant capital expenditures, including additional club developments. We have now decided to resume various projects, including the completion of the Liberia, Costa Rica club. The new Liberia club will be our 8th club in Costa Rica, located in the Guanacaste province, approximately 130 miles from the nearest PriceSmart club and three hours from the capital city of San José. The Liberia club will offer “Click and Go” services, as well as other features that, over the past couple of months, have proven to be of increased importance to our Members. We are very much looking forward to the opening of our 46th club.”
