Sendas (supermarket)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sendas (originally Casas Sendas Comércio e Indústria Ltda., currently Sendas Distribuidora S.A.) is a supermarket chain in Rio de Janeiro State, currently owned by Companhia Brasileira de Distribuição / Grupo Pão de Açúcar.

Prior to the CBD takeover (officially a "partnership"), Sendas owned Sendas supermarkets, Bon Marché hypermarkets and Casa Show home improvement stores. After the transaction, Bon Marché stores were rebranded as Extra Bon Marché (part of Extra Hipermercados), and Casa Show was spun off (though some Casa Show stores still are annex to CBD stores).

Currently, Sendas can be described as the Rio equivalent to the CompreBem banner, based in "neighborhood stores". ABC Barateiro stores, owned by CBD, were rebranded as Sendas.
