The Herval Group, responsible for the operation, chooses not to disclose which locations will be affected, although it currently maintains 51 units in operation in the state.

According to the Herval Group, the cuts are linked to difficulties accumulated since the pandemic period. The company mentions a decline in sales, high delinquency rates, and prolonged impacts of high interest rates on consumers and companies.

It also states that taQi is undergoing a sales model adjustment process, defined as essential to face the moment.

Other Group Brands Remain Active

In addition to taQi, the Herval Group manages the Iplace network, an Apple licensee in Brazil, and the furniture brand Uultis, which maintains operations in cities like New York and Miami.

In a recent statement, the company highlighted that in-person service and e-commerce continue to operate, even in locations where the Liquida Mostruário is taking place.
