Between the roundabout of the Diana to the monument to the revolution there are 4 kilometers. Four thousand linear meters. The width of the Reforma lanes plus the sidewalks are around 40 meters.
If we multiply 4 thousand by 40 it is 160 thousand square meters. If we estimate four people per square meter we will have 640 thousand dealers.
