Wal-Mart Opens Miami Latin Hub

MIAMI — Wal-Mart Stores has officially opened the new headquarters for its Latin America operations here.

“We’re very enthused about having our new Latin America regional headquarters here in Miami, which some describe as a gateway to Latin America,” Eduardo Solórzano, Wal-Mart’s new president and chief executive for Latin America, said in a statement. “The opening of this new regional office reflects a renewed level of service and support.”

Solórzano said the office also ensures the stores in the nine countries where Wal-Mart operates in Latin America, including Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico and Nicaragua, can make decisions with speed and have the support they need to be “customers’ first choice in retailing.”
