Job description

About Granado:

Founded in 1870 by the Portuguese José Coxito Granado, the Granado story began by selling natural remedies created from plants, herbs and flowers native to his home, in Rio de Janeiro’s mountainous region. The brand’s first store was established in the heart of downtown Rio de Janeiro, where the historic shop still stands today.

The quality and effectiveness of the products soon made Granado one of the official Pharmaceutical suppliers to the Royal Court. For that reason, the brand was given the title of ‘Official Pharmacy of the Imperial Family of Brazil’ by the Emperor D. Pedro II, in 1880.

Emblematic in its country of origin, Granado has been passed down through the generations and is part of the Brazilian heritage.

In 2013 the brand started its global expansion by opening its first concept store outside of Brazil, at prestigious department store Le Bon Marché in Paris. Thereafter, Granado has opened stores throughout many European countries including France, Spain, Portugal, Italy, England, Greece, and Austria.
