With 24,455 stores, 13 million daily customers and billions in quarterly revenue, Oxxo's numbers reveal how deeply the convenience chain is embedded in Mexican life.
Loosely translated, this phrase — the slogan of Mexican convenience store chain Oxxo — means "On the corner of your life."
That is not much of an exaggeration: Oxxo stores are truly ubiquitous in Mexico.
For good or for bad, I live directly opposite one in Mexico City. There is another Oxxo store about two minutes' walk from my front door if I want a little more exercise before I open my packet of chips or caguama .
As a news outlet focused on Mexico, Mexico News Daily has naturally reported quite extensively on Oxxo.
We've written about " Mexico's coolest Oxxo "; the history of the chain and Mexicans' "love-hate relationship with it ; the " Oxxo diet " (that any reputable nutritionist wouldn't recommend !); the chain's expansion to the United States ; and Oxxo's long-term plans .
In this "Mexico in Numbers" article, we'll take a look at some key Oxxo numbers, including one that is the answer to a question you may have asked yourself or someone else: Exactly how many Oxxos are there in Mexico?

The first Oxxo store — created by the Cuauhtémoc Brewery — opened in the northern city of Monterrey, Nuevo León, in 1978. Therefore, Oxxo celebrates its 48th birthday this year.
There will no doubt be significant celebrations (and promotions) when Oxxo reaches the half-century milestone in 2028.
As of March 31, 2026, Oxxo had 24,455 stores in Mexico, an annual increase of 3.8%.
Oxxo has stores in all 32 federal entities in Mexico. In addition, there are Oxxo stores in Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Peru and the United States.
The chain has expanded rapidly this century. In 2000, there were fewer than 2,000 Oxxo stores , according to the website Latinometrics.
At the end of 2025, Nuevo León had 2,514 Oxxo stores, more than any other state, according to a report published by the newspaper El Mañana de Nuevo Laredo .
Four other states had more than 1,000 Oxxo stores at the end of last year:
The number of Oxxo stores in Mexico increased by 888 in the 12 months to March 31, 2026.
Therefore, the number of Oxxo stores in Mexico increased by 2.43 per day in the period. This accounts for both the opening of new stores and any closures.
Oxxo sells "more than 2,500 products in all stores, ranging from chewing gum to cell phones," according to the chain.
