> More WIRE STORIES about this company
PROFILE |
 |
PriceSmart is wise in the ways of members-only club retailing. The company licenses or partially owns about 15 membership stores under the PriceSmart names in Central America and the Caribbean regions, as well as a handful of warehouses in China and Saipan. PriceSmart was a 1997 spinoff of Price Enterprises, which itself was spun off by Costco. The company is expanding rapidly in Latin America, the Caribbean, and the Philippines through joint venture and licensing agreements. PriceSmart sold its domestic auto referral program and travel business. Together, chairman Robert Price and his father, Sol -- who created club retailing in the 1950s -- own more than 50% of PriceSmart.
