Sheng Siong Supermarket, born and bred in Singapore, was founded in 1985
by the Lim brothers (Mr Lim Hock Eng, Mr Lim Hock Chee and Mr Lim Hock
Leng). Before, the Lim brothers were helping out at their father’s pig
farm in Punggol. Due to an over-supply situation, Mr Lim Hock Chee and his
wife rented a stall at one of the now-defunct supermarket chain stores in
Ang Mo Kio (BLK 122 Ang Mo Kio Ave 3) to sell chilled pork. Just when the
couple managed to clear the excess stock, their store owner (the
supermarket chain) ran into financial problems and put up the various
stores for sale to existing tenants or other market players, including the
one where Mr Lim Hock Chee and his wife were operating the pork stall.
With the government phasing out pig farms, and with seed capital from
their father, Mr Lim Kim Siong, the Lim brothers took the plunge and
ventured into the retail business by taking over the store at BLK 122. The
original store remains operational today, and this, is the story of how
Sheng Siong began.
From our humble roots starting as a small provision shop in Ang Mo Kio,
Sheng Siong has grown to become one of Singapore’s top retailers, with
over 70 stores island-wide today. Sheng Siong is also listed on the
Mainboard of the Singapore Exchange since 2011.
Our retail stores are primarily located in the heartlands of Singapore.
They are designed to provide our customers with both “wet and dry”
shopping options. These include a wide assortment of live, fresh and
chilled produce, such as seafood, meat, fruits and vegetables, in
addition to processed, packaged and preserved food products as well as
general merchandise such as toiletries and essential household products.
Over the past decade, we have begun developing a selection of
housebrands to offer our customers quality alternatives to national
brands at substantial savings. These products are developed with a key
focus on safety, quality, health and nutrition, and value-for-money.
In 2014, we started our online shopping platform for groceries –
“allforyou.sg”, which offers e-commerce services in almost all postal
districts in Singapore. The online platform has been rebranded as “Sheng
Siong Online” in 2021 to be in line with our core branding strategy.
Here, we embarked on our omni- channel retail journey to become not only
your preferred brick-and-mortar supermarket, but also one of the best
online supermarkets in Singapore.
As one of the cheapest supermarkets in Singapore, we stay committed to
providing our customers with safe and quality products that are
value-for-money and excellent service.
C M M Marketing Management (CMM), the sister company, was incorporated in
the year 2000, to serve as the warehousing and logistics arm of Sheng
Siong Supermarket. Over the years, it gradually became the corporate
headquarters of all the related companies and provided backend support to
Sheng Siong Supermarket. Functions carried out at CMM include purchasing,
marketing, administration, finance, information technology and human
resource management.
To support our retail operations, we built a customised central
distribution centre in Mandai Link. Construction of this corporate
headquarters-cum-warehousing and distribution centre was completed in
2011, allowing us to leverage on an extensive distribution network, food
processing capabilities and warehousing facilities thereon. The
Distribution Centre supplies more than 70% of the goods to our retail
stores.
In March 2013, we received HACCP certification for our processing of fish,
seafood, meat and vegetables from the receiving of raw materials, storage,
processing, packing and transportation of finished products. Our
repackaging of dried food from the receiving of raw materials, storage,
repacking and transportation of finished products, as well as the
receiving, storage and transportation of frozen food and fruits were also
HACCP-certified. With further training, sharing of knowledge and upgrading
of our handling processes, we attained ISO 22000:2018 Food Safety
Management System certification since early 2016, and have maintained the
ISO 22000 certification to date.
Towards the end of 2014, the Group entered into a conditional
joint-venture agreement with Kunming LuChen Group Co to operate
supermarkets in China. Our subsidiary, Sheng Siong (China) Supermarket
Co., Ltd., unveiled its first overseas venture in Kunming in November
2017, spanning a retail space area of 50,000 square feet.
With consistently strong financial results and active involvement in
community, our Group has gained much recognition in the marketplace.
Recent awards won include “The Enterprise of the Year Award”, “Innovation
Excellence Award” and the “Best of the Best” retailer in Singapore.

Today, our vast array of house brand offerings stands at over 1650
products strong, each meticulously curated with our exacting expertise to

nutrition, and value-for-money.

Our Sustainability Journey
Contributing to our Group’s growth is our commitment to the company’s
core values and principles in fulfilling the demands of our customers
sustainably. Our sustainability journey is built on five key pillars:
Each pillar represents Sheng Siong’s commitments to create a sustainable
and positive impact in the business, the workplace, the community and
the environment.
No matter the hour, an extensive suite of operational processes, systems
and initiatives run together like clockwork to deliver a great Sheng
Siong experience.
“How do we go one step further to better that experience?” The question
is always at the forefront of our minds. It takes an openness to
emergent ideas, a drive for constant self-evaluation and wholehearted
collaborative effort with the right partners, all rounded out by
seasoned expertise with judicious prudence and acumen.
We may run a tight ship, but there’s always something bigger, better and
brighter to strive for.
Trends and technologies shift across the ebb and flow of time, but our
customer-centric focus remains as Sheng Siong’s timeless imperative that
embodies who we are as an eminent household name.
It’s the recognition and reciprocation of a symbiotic connection built
over the years that motivates us to go further to bring you only the
very best.
It’s about the satisfaction of placing fresh healthfulness on your
dinner plate, and bringing brighter smiles to your dining table.
It’s about pushing our boundaries to reach out even further to provide
for your needs.
They’re our stewards, ambassadors and enablers. We value our employees,
and we resolve to provide them with a safe and fair working environment.
It is also our mission to make Sheng Siong a great place to work, where
employees’ needs are well-taken care of and where they can realise their
fullest potential.
一只蜂酿不成蜜 一颗米熬不成粥 Honey cannot be made from a single bee Nor
porridge, from a single grain
~ Chinese Proverb ~
As a retailer, our core business revolves around the day-to-day running
of our stores, but we also recognise our standing as neighbours who are
part of a greater local community. Through a collaborative joint effort,
we can realise something more worthwhile. Having benefitted greatly from
the Singapore customer base and community, we also strive to play to our
strengths as a major retailer and do what we can to reciprocate and
enrich the lives around us.
“The pressing call for greater attention to environmental issues rings
loud and clear. As the custodians of this generation and the next, we
take initiatives to review and moderate our environmental impact, and to
help foster an environmentally-conscious mindset amongst society at
large. With only one Earth between us, it’s up to us to play our part
for a sustainable living space.”
Sheng Siong was founded by the Lim Brothers - Mr Lim Hock Eng, Mr Lim Hock Chee and Mr Lim Hock Leng. They took the opportunity to acquire the store at BLK 122 Ang Mo Kio Ave 3, where they were previously tenants selling chilled pork. With the government phasing out pig farms and some seed money from their father, the Lim brothers took the plunge and opened their first Sheng Siong Supermarket.
The original store remains operational until today.
Year 1988
By 1988, Sheng Siong set up a second store at BLK 539 in Bedok North (which later relocated to BLK 539A).
Year 1995
The third store located at BLK 301 in Woodlands is opened in 1995.
From 1999-2005, the chain saw exponential growth, adding a whopping 11 new stores, bringing the total number of stores to 14.
During this period, Sheng Siong weathered the bleak domestic and global economic outlook due to events like the financial crisis and collapse of the dotcom era and survived the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) attack. This is a testament to the nature of its business, the hard work and dedication of family members and staff, as well as the ease (and lower cost) of obtaining retail spaces to conduct business.

Year 2006
After its rapid expansion, Sheng Siong began its internal corporate restructuring to keep pace with its growth. It was the 1st supermarket to implement the Electronic Price Labeling process (ESL) or ‘e-price tag’.
Year 2007
2007 is a year of change, where a series of “makeovers” including the revamping of corporate logo and signboards took place to solidify Sheng Siong as a household name.
Year 2007
It started dabbling in advertisements and promotions as well. In conjunction with its first-ever mega sales promotions, “The Sheng Siong Show”, a live television variety show, was launched in April 2007 and attracted strong viewership. It was so successful that it became a regular season (mid-year and year-end) programme on national television, MediaCorp Channel 8.
Sheng Siong launched its first TV commercial.
Year 2008
Sheng Siong leapt from 8th position to become the 3rd largest retailer in Singapore by sales volume, according to an Asia-Pacific survey by Euromonitor International.

Former warehouse cum distribution center located at 3000 Marsiling Road
Year 2009
By the end of 2009, store count grew to 23. Sheng Siong was the 1st supermarket to set up live seafood station (tanks in the outlets).
Together with its sister company C M M Marketing Management Pte Ltd, they announced plans to invest $65 million to build their new HQ cum Distribution Centre at Mandai Link Road. The new Distribution Centre was to be built on 2.32 hectares (or 249,722 sq ft) of land awarded by JTC Corporation, with a lease of 30 + 30 years. The land size is about twice that of the old warehouse (120,328 sq ft) located at 3000 Marsiling Road. The new built-up area will be approximately 537,000 sq ft, about four times bigger than the old HQ, reflecting the group’s ambition to grow and expand.

In the same year, Sheng Siong received notification from its new landlord at Ten Mile Junction that they decided to terminate the existing lease with Sheng Siong as they wanted to conduct major refurbishment works in the mixed development to give the property a new identity.

The custom-built Distribution Centre leverages on modern technologies, such as the Pick-to-Light Warehouse Management System, to improve on its operational productivity and to achieve zero error in goods handling. It also allowed the adoption of Cold Chain Management in the storage and handling of our fresh produce. As the capacity in the new Distribution Centre increases tremendously relative to the old warehouse, it can embark on more direct and centralised purchasing in bulk, as well as the expansion of Sheng Siong’s house brand variety, enhancing the Group’s margins.
