By San José, Costa Rica — San José, Costa Rica – In a move set to capture the last wave of holiday spending, retail giant Monge has launched its highly anticipated “Gran Liquidación de Saldos de Fin de Año,” a nationwide year-end clearance event offering dramatic discounts of up to 70% on thousands of products. The sale, which began today and runs through December 31st, targets consumers looking to upgrade household items or snag last-minute gifts with their year-end bonuses.
The promotion spans all product lines and brands carried by the retailer, effectively turning every Monge store in the country into an outlet destination for the final week of the year. This strategic timing, immediately following Christmas Day, is designed to attract families and individuals seeking substantial value after the primary gift-giving season has concluded, leveraging a period when many are still in a shopping mindset.
To delve into the legal and business implications of this landmark transaction, TicosLand.com consulted with Lic. Larry Hans Arroyo Vargas, an expert in corporate and commercial law from the distinguished firm Bufete de Costa Rica.
A transaction of this magnitude goes beyond a simple change of ownership; it represents a strategic market repositioning. The success of this acquisition will hinge not only on regulatory approvals, particularly from competition authorities, but also on a seamless post-merger integration that respects both labor laws and existing consumer contracts. For the Costa Rican market, it signals a new phase of consolidation in the retail sector.

Indeed, as the attorney highlights, the road ahead involves far more than just financial strategy; it requires a deep respect for the legal and human elements of the integration process. We thank Lic. Larry Hans Arroyo Vargas for his insightful perspective on this pivotal consolidation in the Costa Rican retail market.
A vast array of merchandise is included in the clearance, covering everything from essential home appliances to the latest personal technology. Shoppers can expect to find significant price reductions on electric and gas stoves, refrigerators, washing machines, and mattresses. The sale also heavily features electronics, with deals on televisions of all sizes, powerful amplified speakers perfect for New Year’s Eve parties, smartphones, tablets, and smartwatches.
Beyond the home, the promotion extends to personal care items like hair straighteners and transportation solutions such as scooters and motorcycles, reflecting Monge’s diverse inventory. According to the company, while the most common discounts will hover between 30% and 50%, a number of seasonal clearance items will be marked down by as much as 60% and even 70%. These deeper discounts are expected to be on limited stock, creating a “treasure hunt” atmosphere for the most diligent bargain seekers.
Recognizing the financial pressures many households face at the end of the year, Monge is heavily promoting its in-house financing option, Crédito Monge, as a key component of the sale. This credit facility allows customers to acquire items immediately but defer their first payment until February 2026. This “buy now, pay later” approach provides a crucial financial buffer, enabling families to secure necessary appliances or technology without requiring immediate cash on hand.
Company representatives are urging customers to act quickly, emphasizing that the clearance sale operates on a “while supplies last” basis. Product availability will vary from store to store, and with limited quantities of the most heavily discounted items, the best deals are expected to be claimed early in the promotional period. This sense of urgency is a classic retail strategy to drive immediate foot traffic following the Christmas holiday lull.
To bolster consumer confidence in purchasing clearance items, Monge has confirmed that all products included in the sale are fully backed by both the manufacturer’s warranty and Monge’s own customer support guarantee. This assurance is particularly important for big-ticket items like refrigerators or motorcycles, ensuring that customers are protected against potential defects and can rely on post-purchase service.
As the clock ticks down to the new year, this massive clearance event represents one of the final major retail pushes of 2025. By combining deep discounts, a wide selection, and flexible payment options, Monge aims to close out the year with a strong sales performance while providing significant value to Costa Rican consumers looking to start 2026 with new and upgraded essentials for their homes and daily lives.
