This was the last great market in the region where we were not present and it takes us beyond the frontiers of South America. This alliance with Mexico’s second largest supermarket operator, which has over 800 stores, will enable Sodimac and CMR to enter the market as important players. Soriana not only shares our culture of focus on the customer but also has both a deep understanding of the Mexican consumer and strategic locations that will facilitate deployment of our stores over the next few years. In Brazil, we continued to grow, opening a third Sodimac store which met with an excellent response from customers. We also began operations at a new distribution center.
