World Department Stores

    Colombo, South America

  Av. Diário de Notícias, 300, lj 2010 - Barra Shopping Sul - Porto Alegre, RS             
O início desta grande realidade aconteceu em 30 de novembro de 1959, na cidade de Farroupilha/RS, quando os primos Adelino Raymundo Colombo e Dionysio Baltahsar Maggioni fundaram a rede de Lojas Colombo. Apenas um ano depois, em 1960, os negócios expandiram com a inauguração da primeira emissora de televisão no Rio Grande do Sul. A venda de televisores foi um fator determinante no crescimento inicial da empresa, que soube atender os sonhos dos consumidores da época com a criação de um consórcio para comercializar esses produtos. Em 1965 é inaugurada a primeira filial, em Caxias do Sul, na serra gaúcha. A Colombo chega a 1992 com 167 lojas e 16 franquias nos estados do Rio Grande do Sul, Santa Catarina e Paraná. Nesse período é inaugurada a marca Lojas Colombo. A instalação das primeiras unidades no interior do estado de São Paulo, em 1999, sinaliza o começo do processo de nacionalização da rede. O ano de 2003 é também histórico, pois a bandeira Colombo chega aos estados de São Paulo e Minas Gerais. Atualmente, a empresa conta com 357 lojas, três centros de distribuição e mais de seis mil colaboradores nos estados do Rio Grande do Sul, Santa Catarina, Paraná, São Paulo e Minas Gerais.
    Consul, South America
  Av. Pedro Linhares Gomes, 3900 - Shopping do Vale do Aço - Ipatinga, MG           
Com o início da operação da Usiminas, em 1962, vários setores da economia da região foram estimulados ao desenvolvimento. No segmento de gêneros para consumo, a Empresa apoiou a iniciativa de um grupo de seus funcionários que se uniram para formar uma cooperativa. Desta maneira, comprometida com a melhoria da qualidade de vida da comunidade, em 1963, nascia a CONSUL. Quando foi constituída, a Cooperativa atendia somente aos funcionários da Usiminas. Foram instaladas várias lojas em vários bairros da cidade de Ipatinga levando aos consumidores produtos com preços justos, qualidade e variedade, o que facilitava a compra de mercadorias para o consumo diário. Com a crescente demanda do público e sempre pensando em se desenvolver no mercado cada vez mais competitivo, em 1993, a CONSUL passou a operar como cooperativa de regime aberto. Essa alteração possibilitou aos interessados tornarem-se sócios e usufruírem dos benefícios e facilidades de compra disponibilizados pela CONSUL. Em 1998 foi inaugurado o Shopping do Vale do Aço. Sua loja âncora é a CONSUL, com 4.800 m2 de área de vendas, ambiente climatizado, infra-estrutura de ponta e avançada tecnologia. A Cooperativa se destacou no mercado varejista da região pela arrojada estratégia e pelo empreendedorismo de sua equipe. Ao aceitar este desafio, selava-se o destino de sucesso da CONSUL. Em 2007, a CONSUL está ampliando e modernizando o layout de seus estabelecimentos. A Cooperativa entende que as instalações devem sempre ser renovadas e inovadas acompanhando tendências do segmento. Essa diretriz faz parte do perfil das empresas que almejam o permanente crescimento e a satisfação plena de seus clientes.

<iframe id='palyer12' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/?listType=user_uploads&list=kohls'></iframe id='palyer12'>
Although some locations are in enclosed shopping malls, the majority of stores are free-standing. Kohl’s operates differently from traditional department stores, like Macy's or Nordstrom. The most noticeable distinction is that Kohl's stores have centralized checkout aisles, where a single line is used for check-outs. Kohl's also uses a "racetrack" aisle that circles the entire store, a technique borrowed from discount stores but rarely used in department stores. In 2011, Kohl's announced plans to remodel 100 of its 1,100 locations. Changes will include redone store sections, fitting rooms, and newer merchandise displays. Source: wikipedia.org
