The Main Store, a People's Store, in Bissau

1979

People's stores, "Armazens de povo," were an important effort to build on a socialist model after independence in 1974, but by 1979 these stores were already failing. Nevertheless, all sectors of the economy were government-controlled until the mid-1980s.
