As is typical for supermarket openings in Campo Grande, the first day of operation of the Atacadão store on Avenida Duque de Caxias, on March 15, 2012, had a queue of customers. All wanted to take advantage of the promotions announced by the chain, which promised 10,000 items available to the consumer, in 6,000 square meters.
Per day, according to data released by the chain, the average was 4 thousand customers in the place. When the unit was inaugurated, Atacadão revealed an investment of R $ 34 million. The insurance buys material losses, the company confirmed.
Eight years later, the building is a mountain of twisted metal and much of the products were eaten by fire. The damage is millionaire, but the insurance covers everything, as confirmed by the press office when consulted by the Campo Grande News.
“It is still too early to report the balance of the impacts,” says the press office when asked about the losses.
As for the possibility of rebuilding the store, the third in the city, the statement is also cautious. “The company is committed to managing the situation and we will only be able to evaluate a unit reconstruction plan after a thorough technical evaluation,” he responds.
