 PROFILE
Carmen Miranda could have filled her fruity headdress at one of the more than 400 stores of Companhia Brasileira de Distribuicao (CBD). The company operates the Pão de Açúcar and Barateiro supermarket chains, Extra hypermarkets, Eletro electronics and appliance stores, and an e-commerce arm (Amelia.com.br). The company's strategy of operating diversified businesses -- it targets low-income consumers with its Eletro chain and hawks private-label goods to Barateiro shoppers -- helped make it the #2 Brazilian food retailer (behind Carrefour). CBD grows by acquiring regional retailers. The founding Diniz family owns a majority of the company; French food retailer Casino Guichard-Perrachon owns about 25%.
