Business segments

As a product-revenue breakdown rather than a formal segment split, FY2025 merchandise sales were approximately 58.2% private-label products, 35.9% branded products, 5.7% spot products, and 0.1% other, based on the reported merchandise-sales amounts. Private-label products are developed by the company as alternatives to branded products; branded products are national or international brands; spot products are limited-quantity items beyond regular stock, with selection changing approximately every two weeks.[22][23][24][25] The company’s operations are in Mexico.[3] [20][21][22][22][22][22][23][24][25][3]
