Pesorama Inc. has qualified to trade on the OTCQX Best Market. Pesorama upgraded to OTCQX from the Pink Ltd. Market.

Pesorama Inc. begins trading today on OTCQX under the symbol PSSOF.

Pesorama operates JOi Dollar Plus, a chain of corporately operated dollar stores that gives Mexican shoppers in dense urban neighbourhoods the same convenience, quality and consistency as dollar stores familiar to shoppers in Canada and the United States. Since opening its first store in Mexico City in 2019, the company has expanded to 43 stores across Mexico City and five surrounding states filling the gap between local bodegas and big-box retailers with more than 20 categories of everyday merchandise, from household goods and health and beauty items to seasonal and party products, priced for the cost-conscious Mexican consumer.

Upgrading to the OTCQX Market is an important step for companies seeking to provide transparent trading for their U.S. investors. For companies listed on a qualified international exchange, streamlined market standards enable them to utilize their home market reporting to make their information available in the U.S.

"Trading on the OTCQX Best Market is an important step for Pesorama as we broaden our U.S. shareholder base. Our stores are fulfilling real demand from cost-conscious Mexican consumers in an underserved market, and this upgrade gives investors in the United States easier access to that. We remain focused on expanding our footprint, deepening brand loyalty and delivering long-term value for our shareholders," said Rahim Bhaloo, founder, chief executive officer and chairman of Pesorama.

Trading in non-U.S. North American securities on OTC Markets reached $23.4-billion in the second quarter of 2026, representing an 88.25-per-cent increase over Q2 2025. OTC Markets recorded $453.34-billion in total dollar volume in the first half of the year. Canada ranked among the top home markets by trading volume during the quarter, highlighting sustained U.S. investor demand for internationally listed names.
