Later the same day, the outlet announced the opening of new stores by Walmart in Costa Rica: ” Walmart abre nuevas tiendas Palí y Maxi Palí en Costa Rica y alcanza 347 locales: conozca las ubicaciones https://t.co/9hKjQtqFxw”. Walmart operates multiple retail formats in Central America and has been expanding its presence in Costa Rica with both Palí and Maxi Palí stores.
