About Asun Supermercados

Our story was born from the dream of a great entrepreneurial woman, the Spanish Asunción Romacho. In , Ms. "Asun, as she was affectionately called, arrived in Brazil. She brought her three children, her mother-in-law and seven years of experience as owner of a hardware store in the Spanish city of Guadix, in Andalusia, on the ship. In the year , her Husband Ernesto set up a small warehouse next to the family house, in the Cavalhada neighborhood, where they all worked together for years.In , the family left Porto Alegre for Quintão, with many challenges, as at that time there was no electricity in the city. Lighting was provided by lamps. Meat, butter and perishables were kept in Styrofoam containers. There was no schedule. "I would sometimes start at a.m. and only leave at midnight. She stayed until she had a client" – recalls the matriarch, in good Spanish, that the more than years in Brazil did not make her lose it. Asunción spent years in Quintão. Until she returned to Porto Alegre, in . Upon her return to the Capital, the founder of the business did not give up her place, standing behind a cashier in the store. The chain grew and the matriarch of a supermarket family today has her nickname printed on the facade of stores, now present not only on beaches in Rio Grande do Sul but also in Porto Alegre, Metropolitan Region of Porto Alegre and Serra Gaúcha.
