ABC (Chile)

ABC was originally a department store created under the umbrella of Abastible (owned by Empresas Copec) selling equipment powered by gas, and later specializing in consumer electronics, until merging with Din and becoming Abcdin in 2008. Its future incarnation will be as a general department store, after the acquisition of Abcdin by La Polar.

In 2006, ABC was bought by the Yaconi Santa Cruz group, owners of Din, and merged them to form Abcdin in 2008.
The ABC name and brand wouldn't be used again until 2024, after the acquisition of Abcdin by La Polar, who will merge both stores and adopt the name ABC.
