The company is a growing brand in Central and South America, and it still sees a lot of opportunities in Colombia and Costa Rica. PriceSmart recently reported its net sales for January 2013 which increased by 10.2% to $173.5 million compared to $157.4 million in January 2012. Analysts are bullish that the company is poised for growth since it is a well-trusted brand by households in Latin America.
