Insights
PriceSmart's sixth Dominican Republic location strategically expands its Caribbean footprint, with new La Romana club targeting underserved eastern market.
PriceSmart continues its measured expansion strategy with plans for a new warehouse club in La Romana, Dominican Republic. This sixth location in the country will be built on a five-acre property approximately 73 miles east of the nearest club in Santo Domingo, strategically positioning the company to serve a previously untapped market area.
The La Romana location represents an intelligent geographic expansion that fills a significant gap in PriceSmart's Dominican Republic coverage. The eastern positioning allows the company to capture consumers who previously faced substantial travel distances to reach existing locations. This approach of establishing presence in underserved areas rather than saturating existing markets demonstrates disciplined real estate strategy.
The company's broader expansion blueprint shows careful sequencing, with a Quetzaltenango, Guatemala location opening in summer 2025 followed by La Romana in spring 2026. Upon completion, PriceSmart will operate 57 total warehouse clubs across 12 countries and one U.S. territory, strengthening its position as the leading warehouse club operator in Latin America and the Caribbean.
La Romana itself represents an attractive market opportunity as a major tourist destination with substantial resort development and growing middle-class population. The warehouse format should effectively serve both local consumers and business customers in the hospitality sector, creating a diverse revenue stream for this location.
