Four new clubs are planned through spring 2027, including Kingston, Jamaica in December 2026, Villa Nueva, Guatemala and Heredia, Costa Rica in early 2027, and the company's first-ever Santiago, Chile location in spring 2027. Once those doors open, PriceSmart's network reaches 63 clubs, with the Chile entry marking the format's first appearance in South America's wealthiest consumer market.
