Wal-mart de Mexico (Walmex). (Company News).

* Retail giant Wal-mart de Mexico (Walmex) continues to dominate the sector, reporting a 5.9% rise in same-store sales in June, compared to the same month last year. Total sales lumped 15.7% for the same period, as it opened three new stores and a new restaurant, the company reported in a statement.

The second quarter (April-June) 2001 has not been as kind to other retail players, who have suffered from the slowdown in the Mexican economy. No. 2 retailer Controladora Comerical Mexicana (Comerci) reported a drop of 0.35% in June same-store sales compared with the same month last year. In June 2000, Comerci's same-store sales were up 9.2%.
