Hello everyone. My name is Jorge Palacios. I'm the general manager of Smart. I'd like to talk to you about our company. I divided my presentation into three parts. Firstly, I'm going to give you some facts and figures of our company. Secondly, I'll talk about my duties. And finally, I'll share with you our plans for next year.

Smart is a supermarket retailer with 47 stores in 3 states in Northern Mexico: Chihuahua, Nuevo Leon, and Coahuila. The headquarters of our company are located in Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua. Our main product is food, but we also sell household goods. We have 2,600 employees working in our company. In 2013, our profits reached 120 million dollars. Our main competitors are Walmart, Soriana, and Bodega Aurrera.

As a general manager, I'm in charge of allocating resources to improve the efficiency of the company. I also develop strategic plans for new business opportunities.  As well, I supervise the marketing department and the supply chain.

Our goal for next year is to open 8 new stores in Nuevo Leon to consolidate our presences in that state. At the same time, we wish to improve our social responsibility programs to contribute more to the well-being of our communities.

Thank you for your time!
