First FamilyMart store in Malaysia - Wisma Lim Foo Yong, Kuala Lumpur

Finally FamilyMart opened its first store in Malaysia. Located in Wisma Lim Foo Yong at Jalan Raja Chulan, Kuala Lumpur. From my observation, FamilyMart does offers something more on top of existing convenience store chains that we have in Malaysia. With new player in place, it does provide more choices for the consumers and raise the standard of our convenience stores. In overseas, FamilyMart does provide many facilities to their customers such as toilet, free wifi, eating place, oden, bill payment, photocopy service, electronic payment options and even send parcel. The first FamilyMart in Malaysia does have those facilities but still need improvement. Since FamilyMart is new here, do expect to queue to get your stuff. Lets take a look on how does our first FamilyMart perform.


First FamilyMart in Malaysia. Distinctive green, blue and white signboard. Lack of welcome music when enter the store.

Located within the compound of Wisma Lim Foo Yong office building.

50% off green tea/French vanilla ice cream.

Wide selection of onigiri and bento sets. Good for quick lunch or dinner.

Onigiri selection is quite limited. Mostly chicken mayo flavour.

Bento set of nasi lemak, fried rice and biryani.

Imported ice-cream from Japan and Korea.

Ice-cream price at MYR6.90 each.

Wide selection of bakery products.

Long queue since the shop is still new. Many people queue for their oden including me.

Many would like to try their oden. This is first time that oden offered in convenience store. Its popular in Japan, Korea and Taiwan. Customer can choose either dashi broth or tom yam.
