PesoRama Inc. Commences Trading on the TSX Venture Exchange

  • JOi Canadian Stores operating in Mexico, offering discounted general merchandise and everyday high-quality staples at affordable prices, catering to a wide array of client segments;
  • JOi Canadian Stores operates as the only true dollar store in Mexico; and
  • Headquartered in Toronto and Mexico City with 18 stores operating in the metropolitan area, with a focus on high-traffic locations.

TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / February 23, 2022 / PesoRama Inc. (TSXV: PESO) ("PesoRama" or the "Company"), a Canadian company operating single price-point dollar stores in Mexico, is pleased to announce that its common shares ("Shares") will commence trading tomorrow (February 24, 2022) on the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV") under the stock ticker "PESO". PesoRama operates 18 stores in and around Mexico City under the "JOi Canadian Stores" brand.

"This is a very exciting milestone for our company and we look forward to a bright future where we revolutionize the Mexican discount retail industry, one JOi Store at a time!" said Erica Fattore, President and CEO of PesoRama. "We are passionate about dollar stores and believe JOi Stores offer an unmatched value proposition in the Mexican market. Our goal is to aggressively expand our operations in Mexico over the next five years, which we believe is highly achievable thanks to a growing middle class that demands value and a consistent shopping experience."

JOi stores in Mexico

Dollar stores made up almost half of all new store openings in the United States in 2021. The rise of middle income households hunting for value on essentials, combined with an inflationary environment has contributed to the surge of the discount retailers(1).With a population of over 131 million, the Mexican market is ripe for disruption, as the everyday shopper seeks more for less.

Key Investment Highlights

  • First Mover Advantage: PesoRama has pursued First Mover Advantage for the single price-point store in Mexico to fill a considerable gap in the Mexican retail market. The Mexican retail landscape is fragmented with multi-outlets, malls, independent retailers, and some discount stores, but no significant chain of discount stores across the country and currently no company with a network of single price-point stores.
  • Large Market Size Potential: PesoRama's simple, growth-oriented, discount general merchandise business model addresses the gap between local bodegas and big box retailers. PesoRama views the Mexican retail gap as an opportunity to scale to a sizable network of stores across the country just as dollar stores have scaled into tens of thousands of stores across the United States and Canada. PesoRama estimates the addressable market in Mexico could be as high as 13,700 stores.
  • Consumer Demand in Mexico: Mexico has a population of over 131 million with a growing middle class seeking value with increasing purchasing power and a youthful demographic that is more money conscious. In addition, Mexico is predominantly a cash-based society with shopping and buying behaviour favouring brick and mortar stores.
  • Experienced Management Team: PesoRama is founded by successful entrepreneurs with a proven track record in retail, real estate and the dollar store sector. The management team knows how to operate a low price-point retail business end-to-end, from direct sourcing, to managing product assortment, demand forecasting, importation, logistics and transportation, warehousing and inventory management, store location selection and store design, marketing, and investing in its people and the right culture for success.
