Brazilian food brands expand physical retail presence

Two Brazilian food businesses are expanding their physical footprints. Labarr, a bean-to-bar chocolatier founded in 2016 by Adriana Labarrère and Leandro Isaías Alves, has opened its first shopping center location at ParkShopping in the Distrito Federal. The 42 square meter space features a cafeteria and offers over 80 products, including vegan and diet options that utilize regional Brazilian ingredients such as pequi, baru, and maracujá-do-Cerrado.

In São Paulo, the cake brand Doce Aquarella, founded by influencer Marcella Tranchesi, is opening its fourth physical store at MorumbiShopping. Since its inception in August 2024, the business has processed over 500,000 orders. The company operates 24 hours a day with nearly 100 employees and utilizes delivery services to provide rapid fulfillment, reporting that its monthly revenue has more than doubled since December 2025.
