Penangite & Owner Of Gama To Acquire Giant, Cold Storage And Mercato Brands In Malaysia

As Penangites, we’ve all heard; and some of us, have grown up alongside Gama. Just last year, Gama has been listed as the oldest supermarket and departmental store in the Malaysia Book of Records. And now, the latest news related to Game is that fellow Penangite and executive chairman of GAMA Group, Datuk Andrew Lim Tatt Keong will be acquiring the food retail business of DFI Group in Malaysia. In case you’re wondering, DFI Group owns several notable retail brands including Mercato, Giant, and Cold Storage.

Penang-Born Datuk Andrew Lim, To Acquire Giant & Cold Storage Brands

To break it down, in Malaysia, the group operates 40 Giant hypermarkets, 40 Giant Mini stores, eight Mercato, two Cold Storages, and one TMC in Bangsar. Once the acquisition is completed, Datuk Andrew Lim will take on the 2,500 Giant, Cold Storage, and Mercato team members. The deal is set to be completed by March 2023.

In a statement by the pan-Asian retailer,

“The local retail group shares similar beliefs as DFI in delivering great quality, service and value to customers.

“By bringing these businesses together under experienced local ownership, both customers and team members (staff) will continue to benefit from the positive changes to Giant, Cold Storage, and Mercato that have taken place in recent years, forging an exciting platform for future growth,” it said.

Lim is currently the group deputy chairman of SOGO Department Store Sdn Bhd as well as the executive chairman of the GAMA Group. He first became the group deputy chairman of SOGO Department Store Sdn Bhd in 2002. Since then, SOGO has become one of the leading retailers in Malaysia.

  20. وقتی ۵۰ تا جایگاه لینک دارید، دستتون بازه که روی تمام کلمات کلیدی‌تون کار کنید. مثلاً ۱۰ تا رو روی اسم برند، ۱۰ تا روی کلمه اصلی و بقیه رو روی کلمات طولانی (Long-tail) تنظیم کنید. این استراتژی باعث میشه کل سایت رشد کنه نه فقط یک صفحه. ادزنو اجازه میده کلمات متنوع بدید که عالیه. برای یک کمپین سئوی کامل، پکیج بک لینک انبوه با کلمات کلیدی متنوع رو توصیه می‌کنم.

  21. خیلی‌ها فکر می‌کنند شماره‌های مجازی انگلیس مثل گوگل ویس برای وریفای کافی هستند، اما این شماره‌ها خیلی زود از کار می‌افتند یا توسط سرویس‌ها شناسایی می‌شوند. برای داشتن خطی پایدار و واقعی، بهتر است از سیم کارت فیزیکی انگلیس استفاده کنید. این سیم‌کارت‌ها با پیش‌شماره +44 به نام شخص خریدار فعال می‌شوند و در ایران به راحتی آنتن می‌دهند.
