Lojas Riachuelo

As part of the A.J. Renner group, a manufacturing industry installed in the Navegantes neighborhood, in Porto Alegre , Renner inaugurated, in 1922, its first point of sale for selling textile goods. In 1940, still part of the group, the mix of products was expanded and the company started to operate as a department store. In 1965, due to its growth and evolution, the A.J. Renner group decided to make the different companies that formed it independent. At that time, Lojas Renner S.A. was formed, which marks the beginning of the store chain as it is currently known. That same year, the company

became a publicly traded company.
