Successful grocer continues innovating with its new outlet

FOR Daniel Teng, opening the seventh Jaya Grocer outlet at The Intermark in Jalan Tun Razak, Kuala Lumpur marks a new era for the family-owned business that started out in 1942 with a sundry shop on Jalan Sentul run by his late grandfather Teng Sek How.

“Branching out into the central business district will be a challenge for us, but it is a starting point for the business to grow further in the upmarket retail sector,” said the 26-year-old who holds a Bachelor of Commerce degree from MacQuarie University in Sydney, Australia.
