The Opening of Sam’s Club Nuevo Mexicali: A Sign of Confidence and Growth in Baja California

New investments are among the clearest indicators of private sector confidence in a region. In this context, the opening of Sam’s Club Nuevo Mexicali represents more than the launch of a new store—it reflects Mexicali’s and Baja California’s position as a solid, competitive environment for investment and growth.

This project reinforces the region’s role as a strategic destination for large-scale investments, particularly in the retail sector, which has a direct impact on employment, local consumption, and overall community well-being.


An Investment That Strengthens the Local Economy

The new Sam’s Club Nuevo Mexicali store represents an investment exceeding 330 million pesos, demonstrating the strong commitment of leading companies to the region’s economic development. Investments of this scale bring not only physical infrastructure but also economic momentum and long-term value.

In addition, the project generated more than 120 direct jobs, contributing to formal employment opportunities and strengthening the local labor market. These jobs support household income, drive consumption, and promote economic stability in Mexicali.


Retail as a Driver of Regional Development

The retail sector plays a key role in urban and regional development by connecting private investment with local demand. The arrival of Sam’s Club Nuevo Mexicali expands commercial offerings, increases competition, and provides additional options for consumers and suppliers.

Such projects also stimulate local value chains, including logistics, services, and indirect suppliers, creating a multiplier effect that benefits the broader regional economy.


A Collaborative Effort Between Industry and Community

The opening event brought together private sector leaders, business representatives, and members of the community. The occasion was shared with Rodrigo Flores Amezcua, Director of Institutional Relations at Walmart de México y Centroamérica, and Pepe Gallegos Villaseñor, Vice President of Operations at Sam’s Club, along with other leaders from the business sector.

These moments highlight the importance of collaboration and dialogue between companies, institutions, and the community to ensure that investment projects deliver sustainable and positive outcomes.


Private Sector Confidence in Baja California

The decision to invest in Mexicali reflects strong private sector confidence in Baja California. The region’s strategic location, infrastructure, skilled workforce, and competitive business environment make it an attractive destination for both national and international companies.

The presence of global corporations enhances the region’s economic profile and sends a positive signal to other investors considering Baja California for future projects.


Commitment to a Competitive and Reliable Investment Environment

Sustainable economic development depends on creating a reliable, competitive, and investment-friendly environment. Continued efforts to improve business conditions, attract investment, and generate employment are essential to achieving long-term growth.

The opening of Sam’s Club Nuevo Mexicali is part of a broader commitment to positioning Baja California as a trusted and attractive region for investments that generate economic and social well-being.


Positive Impact on Mexicali’s Families

Beyond economic indicators, projects like this have a direct impact on people’s quality of life. Expanded retail options, job creation, and stronger local consumption contribute to a more dynamic and resilient local economy.

The growth of formal retail also encourages better practices, increased competitiveness, and a more favorable environment for urban and social development.


The opening of Sam’s Club Nuevo Mexicali stands as a clear example of how private investment drives regional economic development. With significant capital investment, job creation, and strengthened local commerce, this project reaffirms confidence in Mexicali and Baja California as regions ready to grow, compete, and deliver long-term prosperity.
