About PriceSmart

From its filings with the US Securities and Exchange Commission

SEC filings

PriceSmart is based in San Diego, California and is incorporated in Delaware. Its shares trade on Nasdaq under the ticker PSMT. The SEC classifies its business as retail-variety stores. In the fiscal year to 31 August 2026, it reported revenue of $5.88bn and net income of $166.6m. At that date it held total assets of $2.60bn and shareholders' equity of $1.46bn.

In its own words

PriceSmart was founded in 1996 by Sol and Robert Price, the creators of Price Club, the original warehouse club operator. The objective of PriceSmart is to operate its warehouse club business in Central America, the Caribbean and South America at operating standards as good as, or superior to, warehouse club operations in the United States.

As of August 31, 2026, we had 58 warehouse clubs in operation in Central America, the Caribbean and Colombia. In addition, we are continuing to advance our planned expansion into Chile, which we believe is a promising new market for our Company. We believe PriceSmart has become one of the most respected and trusted brands in the countries where we operate. With over two million membership accounts and over four million cardholders, we believe PriceSmart is an essential part of the shopping experience for consumers and small businesses in PriceSmart’s markets.

PriceSmart sources approximately half of its merchandise from suppliers within Latin America and the Caribbean, with the balance of merchandise sourced from the United States and globally. Product selection includes basic consumable merchandise for consumers and businesses, “Member’s Selection®” private label merchandise and consumable and non-consumable products that are often not otherwise available in our markets.
