Argentina’s Wholesale ‘Black Week’ Launches With Up to 40% Off to Jolt Sluggish Sales

The trade group CADAM aims to funnel promotions into a lift for neighborhood stores after a 5.4% first‑half slump.

Overview

  • The weeklong event runs November 17–23 across stores and online, coordinated by CADAM, with an interactive map to find participating outlets.
  • Wholesale leaders say the push seeks to raise volumes across the supply chain following a 5.4% drop in first‑half 2025 sales.
  • Sector representatives renewed calls for tax and labor reforms, arguing current charges increase hiring costs and flow through to prices.
  • In Mendoza, at least eight chains joined — Basualdo, Buj Mayorista, Yaguar, Maxiconsumo, Segal, Makro, Oscar David and La Yunta — while Casa Segal opted out citing an everyday low‑price strategy.
  • Early reports point to cautious foot traffic with small retailers driving purchases, steepest cuts in electronics and holiday goods, and some chains signaling extensions beyond this week.
