CEO Adelene Foo said the occasion was a fitting tribute to its customers in Shah Alam who have given overwhelming support to the home-grown brand over the years. “We opened the first store back in 2007 in Selangor and it’s particularly meaningful that, after almost 17 years, we’re opening our 49th store in the Selangor State capital.”
Gracing the launch today was Selangor State Exco Member for Youth, Sports and Entrepreneurship MohdNajwan Halimi who is also the State Assemblyman for Kota Anggerik.

In recounting Jaya Grocer’s presence in Shah Alam, Adelene said the first outlet in the city at Plaza Jelutong was open on 29 September 2012 and quickly created a reputation for high-quality products and exceptional customer service. City folks also thronged its second outlet at Ardence Labs leading the brand to add Plaza Shah Alam to its network.
“With three outlets in Shah Alam, our customers will find shopping with us much more convenient than ever,” she said.
With this auspicious start to the new year, she said Jaya Grocer’s network expansion plans are on track and she looked forward to a better year in 2024.
“We expect this year to be better in tandem with the higher economic growth forecast by most research houses,” she said, adding that Rating Agency of Malaysia (RAM) has projected Malaysia’s 2024 gross domestic product (GDP) to grow by 4.5 to 5.5%, up from the estimated growth rate of 4.0% in 2023.
“With our three outlets in this city strategically positioned, our customers in Shah Alam can enjoy even greater accessibility to our premium range of products, reinforcing our commitment to serving the community more efficiently,” she added.
To reward customers in Shah Alam, Jaya Grocer is offering promotion deals from January 13th to January 21st that includes special discounts on a variety of essential items such as vegetables, poultry, and meat, as well as enticing offers on imported snacks and cat food.
Soon after the opening ceremony, Jaya Grocer hosted a cooking demonstration by well-known TV host and celebrity chef Fikree Aznan, who wowed the audience with his impressive culinary skills. Customers also got photo opportunities with chef Fikree in a meet-and-greet session, with many getting an autographed MimpikitaApron from him.
