In 2019, while 70% of Fábricas de Francia stores moved to Liverpool, the remaining 21 branches became Suburbia stores and since then, Liverpool began to expand Suburbia stores in the country, either reaching fashion malls where Liverpool is present as the main anchor, or in cities or towns with more than 70,000 inhabitants. On September 12, 2018, Grupo Liverpool announced that the format Fábricas de Francia will disappear to convert the 41 stores into the Liverpool or Suburbia formats. On April 4, having concluded the formalities of the transaction, the incorporation of the same to Liverpool began. The final closure of the operation (purchase) was carried out on March 10, 2017, when the Federal Economic Competition Commission authorized the sale. On January 18, 2016, Walmart de México announced the start of the sales process for this format, which ended when the El Puerto de Liverpool chain acquired 100% of the chain on August 10, 2016. In 1997, Suburbia had more than 9,000 employees. In 1994, together with Vips, Suburbia joined the Cifra Walmart group (which in turn changed to Walmart de México in 2001). In 1986, together with Aurrerá, Bodega Aurrerá, Superama, Vips and El Portón, Grupo Cifra was created. The first branch was opened on October 28, 1970, in Taxqueña, south of Mexico City, in which its concept was born as a department store for clothing, footwear and accessories for the whole family. Suburbia currently has 166 stores in the Mexican Republic. Its main activity consists of the sale of clothing, appliances, electronics and cell phones aimed at the socioeconomic middle and low classes.

Suburbia is a chain of department stores founded in 1970 in Mexico City. Text adapted from the Introduction by Karen Irvine, Curator, Museum of Contemporary Photography, Columbia College, Chicago.Clothing, Fashion clothing, footwear, jewelry, beauty products, appliances and housewares. Understanding that overdevelopment is not just a local problem, he works hard as an artist to share his photographs as one clear plea for responsible, sustainable development in a rapidly changing world. He lives in downtown Monterrey, and he cares deeply about its land, its people, and its future. Ultimately Cartagena documents the chaos and destruction that result from scant or misguided urban planning. Only the landscape appears capable of limiting their proliferation, the mountains and rivers the only forces able to contain their sprawl. He takes pictures of dried-up river beds that attest to the water misallocation and depletion brought about by the construction, and he depicts perpetual rows of tiny houses slicing directly into the foothills of the picturesque mountains that surround Monterrey. Over the years, various governmental policies resulted in new, decentralized cities with limited infrastructures where the pursuit of immediate financial gain trumped any interest in sustainability.Cartagena captures both the destruction that rapid urbanization has imposed on the landscape and the phenomenon of densely packed housing. In Suburbia Mexicana Alejandro Cartagena photographs the particularities of the suburbs of Monterrey, Mexico which are relatively new and often hastily built, reflecting a general disregard for planning.
