10 Things we would like to see at Malaysia’s upcoming FamilyMart!

Japan’s famous convenience store franchise, FamilyMart is set to debut its first store in Malaysia soon.

Local food processor QL Resources Bhd’s wholly-owned unit, Maxincome Resources Sdn Bhd had signed a 20-year exclusive area franchise agreement (AFA) with Tokyo-based FamilyMart Co Ltd to develop and operate FamilyMart outlets in Malaysia, The Star reports.

The first store is expected to be opened by the end of this year in Kuala Lumpur with plans to launch 300 more stores in the country in the course of five years.

“FamilyMart, known for its wide range of quality, ready-to-eat food and beverage offerings besides other convenience items, provides a strategic downstream expansion of QL’s existing food manufacturing and distribution business,” said QL.
