RiMart Stores
RiMart may be one of the fastest growing tool chain stores in Mexico- opening at least one new store a month and supplying to both the local retail markets as well as to large commercial users. The RiMart stores are typically small stores scattered throughout the city, with larger warehouse stores supplying their inventory and fulfilling their large orders directly. This combination of small stores and a "hub" warehouse concept has kept costs down and growth up. Another distinctive advantage is due to the Company's vertical integration of building materials and manufacturing facilities.
RiMart's Progress
RiMart currently owns and operates 12 retail stores. They carry and stock a variety of small hand and electric tools, electrical parts, PVC, and supply special orders for local builders and developers.
RiMart has recently started to grant local concessions to qualified individuals
who wish to operate the store as a business opportunity.
