Where to buy in Brás is the question of many Brazilians who come from all over to buy and resell products in their cities. That’s because the values are very low, great for anyone who has a business, whether online or physical.
First of all, the neighborhood of Brás is one of the main centers of popular commerce in the Sao Paulo City. The name originates from José Brás, a Portuguese man who owned a farm in the region a long time ago. Brás began to gain size with the arrival of immigrants in the 17th century, most of them Italians.
From the 1940s onwards, the Brás neighborhood began to receive thousands of people from the Northeast, who were looking for a better life in the capital of São Paulo and settled in the region. Thus, nowadays the neighborhood houses dozens of stores on several streets, synonymous with cheap shopping.
