Waldo's Mart

Waldo's (also known as Waldo's Mart) is a prominent discount retail chain operating in Mexico. The brand traces its roots back to the United States, where it was founded in Illinois in 1998 by the Scott family before focusing its growth strategy on the Mexican market. In Mexico, it positioned itself as a leading 'single price' or dollar-store model, offering a wide range of household goods and general merchandise.

The manufacturing of products sold at Waldo's varies significantly, with sourcing from multiple countries including Mexico, China, and the United States to maintain competitive pricing. Today, the brand is owned by Waldo's Holdings, a joint venture involving the Scott family and various private equity investors, including significant participation from the ACON Investments firm in the United States and the Kalach family in Mexico.
