Americanas S.A. (OTCMKTS:BTOOY) is a Brazil-based retail and e-commerce company operating one of the country’s largest multi-channel commerce platforms. It combines a well-established brick-and-mortar chain of retail outlets with a diverse online marketplace, serving millions of customers across consumer electronics, home goods, personal care, toys and more. The company’s digital presence includes flagship websites and mobile apps under the Americanas, Submarino and Shoptime brands, offering a broad assortment of products from both first-party inventory and third-party sellers.
The origins of Americanas trace back to 1929 with the opening of the first Lojas Americanas store in Rio de Janeiro. Over the decades, the group expanded its physical footprint nationwide and entered the digital arena to meet evolving consumer preferences. In mid-2021, Lojas Americanas merged with B2W Digital—then one of Brazil’s leading pure-play online retailers—forming Americanas S.A. and unifying its physical and digital operations under a single holding structure.
Beyond traditional retail, Americanas S.A. has developed a financial technology arm through its Ame Digital platform, which offers a digital wallet, payment processing and consumer credit solutions. This integration of retail and fintech capabilities aims to drive customer loyalty and provide seamless payment experiences across both online and in-store channels. The company also invests in logistics infrastructure, operating distribution centers and partnering with third-party carriers to support fast delivery and last-mile fulfillment throughout Brazil.
Headquartered in Rio de Janeiro, Americanas S.A. serves customers in every Brazilian state, leveraging an extensive store network and digital reach. Its executive team and board of directors focus on strategic growth initiatives, including marketplace expansion, technology innovation and sustainability programs designed to enhance customer experience and operational efficiency in Latin America’s dynamic retail landscape.
