Mexican convenience store chain Oxxo continues its aggressive expansion in Peru, now reaching commuters directly through a new location within the Lima Metro’s Estación Central [[3]]. This marks the first Oxxo store inside the city’s metro system, a strategic move to capture the substantial daily flow of passengers [[1]]. The expansion reflects Oxxo’s growing presence in the Peruvian market, currently exceeding 150 stores nationwide [[2]].
Mexican convenience store chain Oxxo has expanded its presence in Peru with the opening of its first location within the Lima Metro system. The new store is situated inside the Estación Central station, part of Line 1 of the Lima Metro, according to reports.
The move represents a strategic effort by Oxxo to tap into the high foot traffic of the city’s public transportation network. Oxxo, a subsidiary of FEMSA, has been rapidly growing its footprint in Peru, competing with local convenience store operators and supermarkets. The company currently operates over 23,000 stores across Latin America, with a significant presence in Mexico, Colombia, and Chile.
The Estación Central location is designed to cater to commuters and travelers, offering a range of convenience items, snacks, beverages, and personal care products. Oxxo has not disclosed specific financial details regarding the investment in this new store, but the expansion signals continued confidence in the Peruvian market.
This latest opening builds on Oxxo’s existing network of stores throughout Lima and other major Peruvian cities. The company aims to provide accessible retail options for a broad customer base, leveraging the convenience of its locations. The expansion into the Lima Metro system is expected to further enhance Oxxo’s visibility and accessibility within the capital city.
