Samaranayake The Discount Store, the latest entrant to the supermarket chains in Sri Lanka, was declared open in Panadura by its Founder and Chairman Dhananjaya Samaranayake and the board of directors recently. The discount store has two sections as retail for ordinary customers and wholesale for purchasing requirements of hotels, groceries, etc. respectively.

Way back in 1996, Dhananjaya Samaranayake the founder of new super market chain, started his business as a wholesale outlet at Bandaragama. And the second phase of expanding it as a supermarket chain has been inaugurated from Panadura. It is expected to open up five more supermarkets in Piliyandala, Maharagama, Aluthgama and Horana by 2020. This challenging task has been entrusted with Suren Samaranayake MD and the rest of the board of directors namely Poorna Samaranayake and Nuwan Samaranayake.

Strategically located in a 100 perch plot of land in the city of Pandura, Samaranayake The Discount Store building has a floor area of 10,000 square feet and a spacious car park and a dedicated staff of over 75. The discount store operates 365 days a year under the theme ‘Discounts for everything everyday’. The discount store is going to offer lucrative discounts for pregnant mothers and pensioners and loyalty cards for all customers. “It is a dream coming true to have been able to bring the supermarket to Panadura,” said Suren Samaranayake, MD, who thanked his father and founder of the business Dhananjaya Samaranayake, his mother, brothers and wife, the staff and all those who helped him to achieve this feat. His aim is to expand ‘Samaranayake The Discount Store’ as a shopping mall including cinema, restaurants, etc.
