Compre Bem
CompreBem was a supermarket chain in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro states, in Brazil, owned by Grupo Pão de Açúcar. This banner's origins start by the Pão de Açúcar acquisition of the Comprebem (with a lowercase "B") supermarket chain in northeastern Brazil, which was rebranded as Pão de Açúcar Comprebem, and eventually absorbed into Pão de Açúcar. In the early 2000s, the group acquired São Paulo-based Barateiro Supermercados, which was to become the present CompreBem a few years later. Initially, the CompreBem Barateiro brand was launched, in advertising and own-brand products. Then, after the takeover of Sé Supermercados by CBD, some Sé stores were rebranded as CompreBem (without the "Barateiro" name), with the remainder rebranded as Pão de Açúcar. By 2003, the Barateiro brand was phased out, with all Barateiro stores rebranded as CompreBem. Grupo Pão de Açúcar briefly used the Barateiro brand in Rio de Janeiro State Rio de Janeiro () is one of the 27 fed ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Supermarkets Of Brazil
A supermarket is a self-service shop offering a wide variety of food, beverages and household products, organized into sections. This kind of store is larger and has a wider selection than earlier grocery stores, but is smaller and more limited in the range of merchandise than a hypermarket or big-box market. In everyday U.S. usage, however, "grocery store" is synonymous with supermarket, and is not used to refer to other types of stores that sell groceries. The supermarket typically has places for fresh meat, fresh produce, dairy, deli items, baked goods, etc. Shelf space is also reserved for canned and packaged goods and for various non-food items such as kitchenware, household cleaners, pharmacy products and pet supplies.
