Havan (department store)

Havan is a Brazilian department store chain headquartered in Brusque, Santa Catarina.[1]

Founded in 1986 by Luciano Hang and Vanderlei de Limas, the company is known for its stores with facades similar to Neo-Greek architecture and for the replicas of the Statue of Liberty installed in front of most of its branches.[2] Havan sells national and imported goods wholesale and retail. Currently, it has megastores in twenty-three states and the Federal District.

History

In 1999, two branches opened in Curitiba. The devaluation of the yuan prompted Havan to reorient itself towards the department store sector. New branches were opened in Florianópolis, Criciúma, Joinville and Balneário Camboriú.

Today, Havas has 192 stores in 23 states and the Federal District.[3]
