TORONTO, ON – (May 5, 2022) – PesoRama Inc. (TSXV: PESO) (“PesoRama” or the “Company“), a Canadian company operating dollar stores in Mexico under the JOi Canadian Stores brand, today announces the grand opening of its 20th store in Mexico. This new store is PesoRama’s first street front location and is situated in Cuemanco, a burgeoning business hub in southern Mexico City, with a mix of large and small retailers, entertainment and dining options.

“Today is a day of celebration as we reach the milestone of opening our 20th store,” said Erica Fattore, President & Chief Executive Officer of PesoRama. “Our continued success demonstrates the effectiveness of our business model, strong market demand and the overall opportunity that the Mexican market presents. I am incredibly proud of everything our team has been able to achieve and will build on this growing momentum as we strategically expand throughout Mexico.

JOi Canadian Stores offers an unmatched value proposition in the Mexican market. Discounted general merchandise and everyday high-quality staples at affordable prices cater to a wide array of client segments.
