- New York, NY (1888PressRelease) March 31, 2011 - Charles Vista LLC proudly announces the closing of a $1.2 million private placement for American Retail Group ("ARG", the "Company").

American Retail Group, Inc., through its wholly owned subsidiary SM Market, specializes in the development of supermarkets in the Republic of Kazakhstan.

SM Market employs 2,800 people, and operates 35 modern grocery stores in Kazakhstan, where open air markets and kiosks are still common. They penetrate all areas of the market by providing three types of shopping experiences which include hypermarkets, discount stores, and smaller corner stores. The pre audited financials indicate 2009 revenue of $211 million, as well as a strong balance sheet.
