Mazatlán maintains confidence as a destination for investment

Despite the economic and security challenges, Mazatlán is an attractive point for investment in the restaurant industry, said Erick Mandujano Cano.

The president of Canirac Mazatlán said that although there are business closures, there are also around 20 openings, many of them of brands. These new investments go from December to the first quarter of 2025.

Although he recognized the impact of insecurity and the drop in sales, the challenges have also opened opportunities, such as Church’s Texas Chicken, Swagyu Buger, Aruba, new Starbucks branches, Caffenio, and La Vaca Argentina will open before Carnival.

“Confidence in Mazatlán is not new, it is backed by the growth we have already experienced. Even in the midst of the challenges, we see new openings and projects on the way, most of them from local investors,” he said.

He also mentioned that many restaurants are carrying out promotions for the celebration of Valentine’s Day to attract more customers and keep the economic activity moving.

Mandujano Caro added that Carnival will be an important trigger for the local economy, as well as Holy Week.

“We expect a great season, with good reservations and an increase in tourist influx. These events are essential for economic reactivation,” he said.

The president of Canirac stressed that economic diversification will be key for Mazatlán, because in these situations one cannot depend only on tourism and must explore other sectors, such as agriculture, logistics and industry.
