Market America Closes Operations In Mexico

According to an official Market America email to its distributors in Mexico.

After careful evaluation and review of the performance over the past six years in Mexico, Market America Worldwide has revised its operations strategy for Mexico and determined that it will close the Market America in Mexico operations.

During the six years of operating in Mexico, the company has experienced many obstacles in our efforts to grow and develop the market. These obstacles include, but are not limited to, the challenges associated with the approval of the company’s exclusive products for sale in Mexico, the limited growth of online shopping at MX.SHOP.COM, the continuous changes in tax laws and associated costs of doing business in Mexico and the inflationary rates of the Peso.

Currently, operating expenses for Market America in Mexico are high compared to the sale of products inventoried in Mexico. We have been forced on multiple occasions to discard product that had reached its expiration date.

Effective Dec. 14, 2018, Market America in Mexico will officially close. Market America in Mexico will stop accepting product orders as of Dec. 6, 2018. There will be no AutoShip orders processed in the month of December. You can continue to purchase the company’s exclusive products while our offices remain open or while supplies last.

Making difficult business decisions are a necessary part of any successful enterprise. We are hopeful that Market America will be able to revisit our efforts to develop and grow the UnFranchise Business in Mexico as new laws are passed that make conducting business across the border more economical for everyone involved. Thank you for your efforts and belief during our time together, and we wish you only the best during this transition.
