CWEB Analyst Reports – Walmart de México y Centroamérica (Walmex), the Mexican and Central American arm of retail giant Walmart Inc. (NYSE: WMT) has revealed a transformative investment plan of over 125 billion pesos ($6 billion USD) for 2025. The ambitious strategy, announced by President and CEO Ignacio Caride during a conference with the Mexican Presidency, underscores the company’s commitment to driving long-term growth, technological innovation, and regional community impact.
Expansion and Job Creation
Central to Walmex’s strategy is the expansion of its retail footprint through its diverse store formats, including Bodega Aurrera, Sam’s Club, Walmart Supercenter, and Walmart Express. The company plans to launch new outlets nationwide, extending its already vast network of 3,200 stores across 700 municipalities in all 32 Mexican states. This expansion is expected to generate 5,500 new direct jobs, further solidifying Walmart’s position as one of Mexico’s largest private employers, with over 200,000 direct and permanent roles currently.
Technological Advancements and Infrastructure
Walmex is also prioritizing cutting-edge logistics with the development of two advanced distribution centers in the Bajío region and Tlaxcala. These facilities will integrate robotics and artificial intelligence (AI) to streamline operations, enhance efficiency, and meet rising consumer demand. According to CWEB News, the adoption of such technologies positions Walmart at the forefront of Mexico’s rapidly evolving retail sector, ensuring faster delivery times and improved inventory management.
Investment Allocation for Growth
The $6 billion investment will be strategically distributed to maximize impact. Approximately 41% of the funds (41.8 billion pesos) will focus on modernizing existing stores, incorporating omnichannel capabilities, and elevating the customer experience through digital enhancements. Meanwhile, 30% of the capital expenditure will drive the construction of new stores and clubs, aligning with Walmex’s goal to open 1,500 additional locations by 2029. This expansion is projected to increase the company’s sales floor area by over 1.4 million square meters, with Bodega Aurrera—a key driver of accessibility in underserved communities—expected to contribute 1.5% to 1.7% of total sales growth in 2025.
Long-Term Vision and Market Leadership
During Walmex Day 2025, executives highlighted the retailer’s vision to strengthen its market leadership while fostering economic opportunities. “This investment reflects our confidence in Mexico’s potential and our dedication to delivering value to customers, associates, and shareholders,” stated Ignacio Caride.
