FamilyMart is celebrating 10 years in Malaysia this month, with about 500 stores, new coffee blends and an anniversary tagline, "Life is Good with FamilyMart". The first Malaysian store opened in Kuala Lumpur on 11 November 2016. (Grocery Trade News, Oriental Daily)
From one store to about 500
The roughly 500-store figure is the count at 30 September 2026, drawn from the company's 5 November update and from retail disclosures by QL Resources, the area franchise partner. It is a tidy milestone for a chain that has become a regular stop for a quick onigiri, oden or soft-serve. (Grocery Trade News)
The anniversary brand idea rests on three pillars: Good Choices, Good Quality and Good Moments. (Oriental Daily)
What is new to eat and drink
- Everyday Craft Coffee: two blends, the bolder charcoal-roasted Sumiyaki and the smoother Kinu, with promotional prices from 99 sen, down from RM3.90.
- Oden: five broths, including tom yam, sukiyaki and laksa.
- Ice cream: a new brown sugar pearl Sofuto, and the return of the popular sea salt flavour.
- A RM10 anniversary bundle, plus a Super Member Day on 10 and 11 November with member-only items from 10 sen.
Fans of the shop's Japanese roots can also look out for FAMIMA by NIGO merchandise, from the Japanese fashion designer, due in December. A roadshow at Sunway Pyramid's Orange Concourse runs until today, 9 November. (Oriental Daily)
A word on halal
According to QL Resources, its QL Kitchen central kitchen, which makes ready-to-eat items such as onigiri, bento, pasta, sandwiches and desserts, holds JAKIM halal certification. Oriental Daily reports that FamilyMart is deepening its work with JAKIM across its central kitchen, logistics and store operations. As always, individual stores and products can differ, so look for the certificate or logo where you buy. Our guide explains how to check a halal certificate. (Grocery Trade News, Oriental Daily)
Why it matters
Ten years is a good run in a busy market, and a chain of about 500 stores now touches a lot of Malaysian mornings and late-night snack runs. Happy birthday, FamilyMart, and enjoy that 99-sen coffee while the offer lasts.
