did you know all hypermarket 51% must be local company partner?
grace period 5 years or so then they must sell or close biz,

For reasons why many international brands e.g carrefour, tesco, makro, esso, mobil, bp, etc exited the country.

We learn that in a free market economy Government should not be in business.
However, in Malaysia government linked entity engage in all sort of businesses that might put off some companies from investing. Just a point to ponder..

You mean Lotus

Was in Twn last time
U can smuggle in but can never checkout without member card, even credit card payment only recognize costco partnered bank only

Free testing wine beer fruit and other stuff

Sebab jiken murah

One of the reason is bcos we do not need to keep stock at home. We have a lot malls and grocery store.

Those stay at service apartments might not even need a fridge. Anytime can walk down and buy fresh.

Last time we got makro

The items they sell in Costco are mostly in bulk volume and large portions. Cheap in USD rates but if arrive in Malaysia due to low value MYR expect to spend hundred or thousands..





The other competitive wholesale store is Sam's Club.



The power of 4.5X buying power with USD.

Coasco will be killed by blood money business like 69 fast mart

Kan ada ST Rosyam

Been to Costco Melbourne once.

Goods are very bulky, large and discounted but not my type of shopping as I am a single person.

Great for American with big families that needs a lot of home supply for a certain period of time.

I wanna see Aldi, Walmart, Amazon in Msia.

lol, been there once at low cost suburbs and it felt like the local and poorer version of cold storage.

I don't see Aldi any appalling. Costco is good but also i dont see msians willing to pay for the memberships.

I am a single person so my spend per trip in supermarket is normally <RM5, very seldom over RM10.

Costco is great for big families that needs a lot of supply.

Aldi sells decent quality aka less mainstream brands with decent quality and prices. Their only weakness is that they are less common with limited branches.

Kinda like 2co / eco

Back then aldi was overpriced for me. Probably the brand was kinda stranger to me

malaysia not much wholesale buying power.. u see makro also gg

quarter pound patty = 113.3981 for US$1.075 per patty
