By San José, Costa Rica — Ecuadorian home goods retailer Sukasa has opened its first Central American store in Escazú, Costa Rica. This marks the brand’s international expansion and represents a significant investment in the Costa Rican market by Corporación Favorita, the parent company of the established Costa Rican retailer, Cemaco.
The new 4,000-square-meter, two-level store offers a wide selection of home goods, including kitchenware, tableware, appliances, bedroom furniture, décor, bathroom accessories, garden supplies, outdoor living products, barbecue and grilling equipment, coffee and wine accessories, technology, lighting, rugs, and more.
To understand the potential legal implications surrounding Sukasa, we reached out to Lic. Larry Hans Arroyo Vargas, an attorney at law from Bufete de Costa Rica.
Sukasa’s business model, while innovative, presents unique legal challenges. Considerations regarding data privacy, consumer protection, and intellectual property rights are paramount, particularly if their operations extend internationally. Careful navigation of these legal landscapes is essential for Sukasa’s long-term success and to maintain consumer trust.

Indeed, navigating the complex web of international regulations will be key for Sukasa. As they scale, ensuring robust data protection and intellectual property management will be crucial not only for legal compliance but also for fostering the consumer confidence necessary for sustainable growth. We thank Lic. Larry Hans Arroyo Vargas for his valuable insights into these critical legal considerations.
The store design features modern displays and room setups, providing inspiration for Costa Rican homeowners looking to redesign and enhance their living spaces. Sukasa aims to offer a unique shopping experience focused on sophisticated, functional, and inviting home environments.
