Arthur Antônio Sendas (1935 in São João de Meriti – October 20, 2008 in Rio de Janeiro) was a Brazilian businessman and business magnate, who founded one of Brazil's largest supermarket chains, Sendas supermarket.[1]
Sendas began building and growing his first grocery store when he was just 17 years old.[1] Eventually Sendas grew to become one of Brazil's largest chains. Sendas supermarkets were sold to rival company, Grupo Pão de Açúcar, in 2003.[1] The supermarkets continue to be operated under the Sendas name.[1]
On October 20, 2008, Sendas was shot as he opened the door of his Leblon, Rio de Janeiro, apartment.[1] He died of his injuries at a Rio de Janeiro hospital hours later at the age of 72.[1] Sendas’ 28-year-old driver, Roberto Costa Jr., who was seen arguing with Sendas shortly before the shooting, later confessed to the murder.[2] Police detective Bianca Araujo said that Costa feared losing his job after Sendas' grandson João Arthur Sendas decided to move to the United States.[2]
After his death, his first-born son Arthur Sendas Filho, took over as the CEO. His son João Antônio Sendas committed suicide in 2003. Sendas was a supporter of CR Vasco da Gama. The Governor of Rio de Janeiro state, Sergio Cabral, declared three days of mourning following Sendas' death.[1]
