Hameedia launches Green Mart gourmet grocery store in Ratmalana to level up Sri Lanka’s foodscape

Hameedia, the leading menswear brand in Sri Lanka has taken the next step towards revolutionising the foodscape of the country with the Group’s latest initiative: Green Mart.

Sri Lanka is in the midst of unprecedented turbulent times, where food has become increasingly unaffordable and access to it is more inconvenient. Hameedia is offering a solution that is sustainable, efficient and cost-effective to give back to the community.

Situated at No. 50, Borupana Road, Ratmalana, Green Mart is a gourmet grocery store with a strong emphasis on helping the community by adding value and simplifying the life of residents of the Ratmalana area and beyond.

Take care of your weekly grocery shopping needs at Green Mart, which goes a step further and provides free delivery of daily essentials to customers residing within a three-kilometre radius of the store. This initiative falls under the social responsibility promise of the Hameedia Group’s My Friend Foundation.

Gracing the opening as Chief Guest was Diamond Best Food of Companies Chairman Foumi Jisty. Hameedia CEO Niroshan De Silva, Hameedia Chairman Rizvi Zaheed, Managing Director Fouzul Hameed and several others were also present. 

Speaking on the occasion Hameedia CEO Niroshan de Silva said, “This journey actually began one year ago. Thank you for the trust given to make this a reality. Green Mart is established to serve the residents and to offer them daily essentials at a reasonable price. You are welcome to give us your suggestions so we can work together and make this project a greater success in the years to come”.

Thanking the Chief Guest and those present at the opening Managing Director Fouzul Hameed said, “When COVID-19 struck Sri Lanka and the world, next to safety, food was the next main concern. We, as a nation went through a lot of hardships as people struggled to find food. So, as a corporate, Hameedia looked at how we could contribute to feeding the community. The result of our efforts was ‘Green Mart’. This is an organic, ethical initiative to provide food and other essentials to the community.”
