Tesco kan ade.....oooo waii.......Lotus i mean

Later got haram section how, kena kepung

used to have Macro

we got NSK

kekwa

Cos 51%

rindu tesco open until 1am on weekend

We got NSK and Mydin. Suppork locas brands.

Dredging my memory from the time i was 2" early this century...Walmart had applied for business license in BolehLand but was denied. In 2018 when govt said it was easing restrictions against foreign superstores, they applied again. Nothing but crickets since then. With this kind of atmosphere, no surprise that there's no Costco here

Costco is like Makro. Need to pay for membership.

If we wanna deal with inflation especially food, these are the big boys that can do it…..they can really compete and push down price while maintaining good quality….

I think Costco offer better quality….

if tesco and giant cant tahan, whats make do you think costco will be interest here?

Later crony and kartel cannot squeeze money from rakyat

What makes u think Costco cannot tahan?

Obviously cannot compare. Because their local products does not exists here and vice versa. You are not going to find TIDE detergent here just as they cannot find TROJAN detergent there.

The idea is still bulk purchase through loyalty program.

because speedmart too strong.

we have tesco

prefer bigc ...just like the one opposite central world.

Thier membership global one .

US Costco the price is so competitive

How would regulations be enforced when we have had a clusterfuck of government changes?

We got 99, who need costco~~~

Lotusgot

all supermarket here hardly can tahan
u can see the cycle....open, closed, sold/reinvest, reopen
cycle over and over again
what more hypermarket

Tak bolih ini mcm.
Monopoly & Kartel nanti rage!

I think Makro closed shop, Carrefour closed shop, Tesco closed shop, Giant semi closing shop, … Hypermarket is not profitable business in Malaysia … If you are Costco or Sams Club, still want to try?

i rather hope big c take over lotus ,lotus suck

if cooperative movement good, i think they can actually do it. but u know, they kena makan ma...

It’s a completely different model…Costco have food (dollar hot dogs etc) and gas stations attached to their outlets, so it’s like an ecosystem itself.

I do enjoy shopping at Costco outlets in Aussie, prices are competitive and the products are interesting. Bought plenty of CK 3 pack boxer briefs for less than AUD 30.

Apparently some Costco outlets have started selling Mazda cars as well..

Got Costco also high likely most don’t have money to shop there…I go Costco weekly here, my bill go in once already more than rm350 every time

Giant pizza slice and clam chowder soup.





No need to go to US Costco to experience it. Costco Japan and Taiwan also got liao.

you can ask the same about issuing licenses as well.
Yet we're still here today, having survived a pandemic and such clusterfucks. BolehLand life plods on...without walmart and costco.

I want coles

Big C is a joke if compared to Costco

Not really the same, policies change depending on who is at the helm and their interests, while license issuance is pretty much well-endowed and established procedures. Changing the rules will go a long way because it will affect the relevant Acts which need parliamentary seating and votings to take place.

meh. still the same end result....no walmart or costco.

Jusco

bcoz malaysia law need 51% own by malaysian and 30% commission fee to certain ppl in a certain political position

malaysians dont deserve costco.

We have cowboy. No need annual fee

Aeon oren/big kan ade

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
Remind me about makro last time but with more varieties

Gas station beside was another good deal

Got cheat code one , Costco gift card . Can go in and buy

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

One thing Costco is awesome for is for Haram goods...

On a serious note, Msia is a too small market with no buying power to sustain a Costco. Just look at Tesco, Makro, Carrefour, i remember the days when it used to be super popular then as our purchasing power decreased it's no longer sustainable for the business to remain.

Chivas 750ml festive pack + 50ml 18yo + 50ml 13yo, $19.99

I think they “deliberately” let you in without the member card, let u go in and slowly poison u with the awesome deals as u stroll down the aisle…….next thing you knew, u apply member card that day lol….
