Pestana said the new store openings would bring CBD’s retail formats to areas where Brazil’s largest retailer is “not present”.
In 2013, Pestana indicated that “the emphasis” will be placed on “accelerating” store openings under its Assaí and Extra Mini Market formats. He added that CBD expects to deliver organic growth in all formats.
