You can find these stores everywhere in Brazil--in every shopping mall in literally every state in the country. This company dates back to 1929 and today is also the largest online store in Brazil. I'd have to say it's equivalent to a K-Mart (or Woolworth for my older readers), selling low-cost items in a great variety, from housewares, to cosmetics, electronics, electrodomestics, clothing, toys, DVD's, kitchenware, food--you name it, they probably sell it.
This particular store is usually well-stocked, if a bit messy, but not surprising, considering the amount of customers that pass through the doors every day.
It can be a bit difficult finding someone to help you on the floor, but the store is pretty well laid out, so you can usually find what you're looking for (and if you can't, they probably don't have it). Good prices for Brazil. Stop in if you're in the neighborhood! read more
