LOS ANGELES, June 01, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Curacao, one of the largest Hispanic-focused retailers on the West Coast, is launching a bold new essential product initiative that passes its own wholesale discounts directly to customers. For a limited time, Curacao customers can buy select everyday household essentials at the exact cost Curacao pays its suppliers, with zero markup or profit, to help families stretch every dollar amid rising prices on necessities like food, gas and rent.
“Supporting our community has always been at the center of everything we do, but right now families are feeling the strain of higher prices on almost everything,” said James Lubary, Executive Vice President of Retail at Curacao. “With our new essential product initiative, we are choosing to give up our markup on select household essentials, so customers pay what we pay, no profit added, on the products they rely on every day. For more than 45 years, our customers have trusted Curacao as more than a retailer, and this program is another way we are standing with them in a tough economy.”
The initiative covers dozens of everyday staples, from laundry detergent and disinfecting wipes to dish soap, baby wipes, paper towels, trash bags, shampoo and deodorant that families buy week after week. Every item in the program is priced at Curacao’s cost, with no added retailer profit, and is available exclusively for Curacao customers in-store. On many items, customers can save several dollars per unit compared to typical big-box or grocery-store prices, adding up to meaningful savings over the course of a year.
Featured products available through the program include:
- Tide Original Liquid Detergent (163 oz) $18.99
- Clorox Disinfecting Wipes (2-Pack) $7.50
- Fab Dishwashing Liquid (90 oz) $4.00
