PriceSmart has announced its plans to expand its operation in Costa Rica by adding a new warehouse club in Liberia, Guanacaste.

The shopping club has acquired a 227,000 square feet of land in Liberia, where it plans to build a small-club format that would open doors in the summer of 2020.

This would be PriceSmart’s 46th warehouse club in the world and the eight in Costa Rica.

The Company is also currently planning to open warehouse clubs in San Cristobal, Guatemala and Panama City, Panama, in the fall of 2019.

The city of Liberia continues to attract investment; the presence of the Daniel Oduber International Airport and the fact that Liberia is close to some of the most beautiful beaches in the country where there are important expat communities make it an interesting location for companies that are looking to expand in the country.
