Several Oxxo Corner Stores Close After Receiving Threats In Irapuato, Guanajuato

By "El Huaso" for Borderland Beat


Photos from TV Consecuencias.

After receiving written threats on the night of September 26, Oxxo convenience stores closed for the night in Irapuato, Guanajuato. According to TV Consecuencias, messages saying "paisano you must join up" were posted inside the businesses around 7 p.m.. 

The meaning likely was, "join us or else". It is possible criminal groups are exerting pressure on businesses to pay extortion fees, assist with money laundering, or act as spots to sell drugs or stolen gasoline.

Photos by journalist Gerardo Hernández for his outlet TV Consecuencias show several shuttered stores, with lights off and doors locked. One photo shows two National Guard soldiers standing guard on the street. He reported TV Consecuencias reported that 90% of the Oxxos in the city closed. There are at least 30 Oxxo convenience stores in Irapuato.

Neither Oxxo or local authorities have acknowledged the event.

These threats come just over a month after CJNG members burned over two dozen Oxxo stores across the state of Guanajuato in retaliation after the government attempted capture of their leader, as reported by Borderland Beat. According to El Sol de Irapuato, 13 of those were in Irapuato.

  2. I commend Oxxo for not paying piso, and shame on the criminal group (likely CJNG) for making this store close! They clerks make a pittance and many poor people without transportation use Oxxo for much of their shopping needs - but CJNG only cares about themselves, and keeping their sicarios high!

    3. Never forget when sinaloense ARTURO BELTRAN LEYVA bitch slapped michoacano CUINI in his home turf in Michoacan when CUINI wanted to rob everything from the late FELIX CORNEJO and MENCHO was there and didn’t do shit! #PuroSinaloa without sinaloans there to keep em in check Michoacanos would have ransacked the whole continent by now!

      None of that is true but whatever makes you feel good lame. Michoacános stay killing Sinaloas like nothing you fools are weaklings always have been still are to this very day! In the US you fools stay running even in the pen you guys are disrespected. Mexican Mafia eMe even said it themselves in LA times article CDS is weak and rather have worked with LFM who was more with the functions.

    8. 5:01 Arturo never slapped one of the Cuinis. It was the Michoacános that helped the Sinaloa cartel when they didn’t have coke they introduced crystal meth to them. Nacho Coronel gave el cartel del milenio the opportunity to join CDS. Nacho coronel considered himself El rey del crystal he would give chapo credit for the product until one day he asked for his money back & chapo bitch as told didn’t want to pay & asked el milenio cartel to take out Nacho & they did. They gave the military information & didn’t go back up nacho

    10. Dont take my word for it! It also comes from your fellow michoacano SARGY, take it up with him! Those thieving instincts run deep in you michoacanos that cant be denied! Thats why you extort your own people while sinaloa is extortion free!

    2. Those gangs you mention are no where near the level that Mexican criminal organization are at. The US is Mexico’s backyard, those foreigners you mention are put in check by raza when they get out of line.

      Delete
    3. It's actually done in the USA all the time. There's YouTube video of retired police officers detailing how cartels and local mafia infiltrate local city councils, mayors, and police and corrupt them. It's done more low key than in Mexico. If you don’t believe it happens in the USA you're living in a dream world.

      Delete
    4. Cause Mexico has such honest and noble politicians. I’d rather face a US street gang than be stuck dealing with Mexico’s NORMALIZED corrupt system of government.

    6. You trippin.. ur obviously out of the loop when it comes to hood shit. All kinds of stores and businesses get extorted by gangs in the US.. i know this for a fact. I know a jack in thew box and dominoes pizza and various liquor stores in LA that get extorted in LA by hispanic and black gangs.. not to mention every booth in Alameda Swapmeet gets extorted by the Eme.. matter of fact the Emes number one source of income comes from extorting illicit and legit businesses all over southern cali. All them miqueros and foos doing sdhiy in downtown LA to fukn eloters be getting taxed foo.. and the italian mafia was known for extortion giving businesses “protection”. The italians would extort hotels and restaurants and it was and has beewn widely known forever.. also if they would see that a business wasd successful they would strongarm that business away from the owner and buy it from them at the price they wanted to basically getting it for super low.. thats how they also were able to get their gaming licenses in nevada from previous holders was by forcing them off their shit and took over Vegas.. all criminal organizations have been grimey as fuck none of them have no honor. And thats a fact.. they are all a bunch of scumbags.. them italians were devils in a suit.. im sure thewyre waist deep in the dope game in the east coast

    10. 2:33; you are 110% correct, but these welfare, unemployment beneficiaries, and mooching wick food commenters are limiting their news to what they like to read - and worse taking the commenters as truth.
      When you don’t expand your news to include reality, and you’ve never had the ambition to travel to lesser developed countries; absolute ignorance is what people like that which your rebuttal was targeted at, become.
      Many Americans are so stupid it is truly scary!

    2. Maybe it's related to the Zhang Cartel?
      I got no info and I'm just guessing because it's a Chinese group operating in Mexico and thinking therefore it might be related.

  12. 🤔"paisano you must join up" Isn't Irapuato a disputed plaza where mantas we're just left hanging? The only paisanos in Guanajuato are Guanajuatense. Think critically.
    Same state different individual, the angry man with the white Nissan if I'm understanding correctly was recently captured. The rumor is he separated from CSRDL. S Z would be his initials.

  14. I am an american who went to live in mexico. I opened a couple businesses. If it wasn't the american criminals there robbing me, it was the police and the poor mexican people robbing me because they said it's ok to do so cause they are poor and I am a rich gringo. I love the Mexicans and I see how difficult life is for them but I would have been killed if I did not leave. Many people just disappear. Not a good place to retire either, too dangerous. Sorry to say that.

    4. 2:03 There are 50 times more americans living in Mexico than Panama (15,000 vs 800,000) legally... the number of illegal americans could easily double that number. Panama is the "best" option, but when it comes to numbers, well... Update your facts boy. Mexico still the #1 destination for vacation and living for US nationals and canadians. ☺
