    Consul, South America
  Av. Pedro Linhares Gomes, 3900 - Shopping do Vale do Aço - Ipatinga, MG           
Com o início da operação da Usiminas, em 1962, vários setores da economia da região foram estimulados ao desenvolvimento. No segmento de gêneros para consumo, a Empresa apoiou a iniciativa de um grupo de seus funcionários que se uniram para formar uma cooperativa. Desta maneira, comprometida com a melhoria da qualidade de vida da comunidade, em 1963, nascia a CONSUL. Quando foi constituída, a Cooperativa atendia somente aos funcionários da Usiminas. Foram instaladas várias lojas em vários bairros da cidade de Ipatinga levando aos consumidores produtos com preços justos, qualidade e variedade, o que facilitava a compra de mercadorias para o consumo diário. Com a crescente demanda do público e sempre pensando em se desenvolver no mercado cada vez mais competitivo, em 1993, a CONSUL passou a operar como cooperativa de regime aberto. Essa alteração possibilitou aos interessados tornarem-se sócios e usufruírem dos benefícios e facilidades de compra disponibilizados pela CONSUL. Em 1998 foi inaugurado o Shopping do Vale do Aço. Sua loja âncora é a CONSUL, com 4.800 m2 de área de vendas, ambiente climatizado, infra-estrutura de ponta e avançada tecnologia. A Cooperativa se destacou no mercado varejista da região pela arrojada estratégia e pelo empreendedorismo de sua equipe. Ao aceitar este desafio, selava-se o destino de sucesso da CONSUL. Em 2007, a CONSUL está ampliando e modernizando o layout de seus estabelecimentos. A Cooperativa entende que as instalações devem sempre ser renovadas e inovadas acompanhando tendências do segmento. Essa diretriz faz parte do perfil das empresas que almejam o permanente crescimento e a satisfação plena de seus clientes.

    Ogilvy, North America
  1307 Sainte-Catherine Street West  - Montreal, QB           
"La Maison Ogilvy, commonly known as Ogilvy's (or Ogilvy in French), is a prominent department store in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, where its store on Saint Catherine Street is a retail landmark. Ogilvy's is the only one of Montreal's four west-end department stores still operating under its original name, and is known as the "Grande dame of St. Catherine Street". The store was founded in 1866 by James A. Ogilvy, a pioneer in Montreal retailing, and has been located for almost a hundred years in an Romanesque Revival stone building built in 1908 in the great style of the day. In 1927, the store and the "Ogilvy's" name was acquired by Arthur J. Nesbitt, an investment banker who was a partner in Nesbitt Thomson & Co. stock brokerage and the energy conglomerate, Power Corporation of Canada. The new owner's twenty year-old son, J. Aird Nesbitt, took over management of the Ogilvy store. He created a style and personality for Ogilvy's that distinguished it from Montreal's other department stores. In 1928, Ogilvy's opened the Tudor Room, a concert hall on the store's fifth floor. The first Montreal Symphony Orchestra broadcast across Canada originated from this hall in 1931. Of Scottish ancestry, Nesbitt also initiated another Ogilvy's tradition in 1950 when he hired two bagpipers to parade through the entire store between noon and 1 o'clock every day. More than fifty years later, a piper continues to march through the store daily. After Nesbitt's retirement, Ogilvy's changed hands once more in 1985. The new owners renovated and revitalized the store interior, and a "new" Ogilvy's emerged in 1987. Ogilvy's was the first department store in Canada to adopt the "store within a store" concept, whereby the store features a collection of independent boutiques under one roof. Each boutique has its own unique character, while sharing common customer policies and standards. Ogilvy's also contains a restaurant, hair salon, florist and interior design consultants. Finally, Ogilvy's is renowned for its yearly, vintage Christmas window display, the only one of its type in downtown Montreal."
