A Dinâmica Geográfica do Setor Supermercadista em Brasília (DF)

Research reveals Brasília's significance as a global consumption hub, with its supermarket sector demonstrating marked heterogeneity and adaptive commercial strategies. The study identifies the presence of major international retail chains in the city, highlighting how their selective territorial use correlates with socio-spatial inequalities across administrative regions. By analyzing multi-scale performance—including capital origin, location strategies, and establishment profiles—using quantitative and qualitative data from Associação de Supermercados de Brasília (ASBRA), the research underscores the city's role in Brazil's retail landscape outside the southeastern region. This approach sheds light on how supermarket chains tailor their operations to local income patterns, offering insights into urban commercial dynamics in a globalized economy.
