 PROFILE
Lojas Americanas may have lost some of its stores, but it still has flavor. One of Brazil's largest general merchandise retailers, the company operates about 95 discount department stores offering apparel, food, household products, and beauty goods. Lojas Americanas also has its own LASA credit card that shoppers use to finance purchases, and the company sells products through its Web site. Lojas Americanas exited the grocery business in late 1998, selling its 23 supermarkets to French hypermarket operator Carrefour; it later spun off its real estate unit. The company was started in 1929 as one discount store in Rio de Janiero by Jim Marshall, an American.
