CBD, which is more commonly known by its flagship supermarket banner Pao de Acucar, reported net sales of BRL3.06bn (US$1.01bn) for the second quarter to the end of June, compared to BRL2.66bn in the year-ago period. The company’s same-store sales rose just 2.6%, reported Reuters.


CBD said same-store sales in nominal terms in June rose 5.2% from the same month of last year, which the company sees as a sign of a recovery in demand.


“In the company’s view, this increase could indicate the beginning of a gradual recovery in consumption in the country,” CBD was quoted by Reuters as saying.
