Walmex Superama

Mexican retailer Walmart de Mexico (Wal-Mex) has this week reported on an increase in third-quarter net profit of 10 per cent, up to US$338m.

For the period ended 31 September 2010, total revenue climbed 27 per cent to US$6.46bn, with sales of US$6.43bn and other income of US$27.1bn, Planet Retail reported.

Quarterly growth was attributed by the group to a February takeover of more than 500 stores in Central America, as well as the opening of 133 outlets so far in 2010.
