Opportunity In Singapore’S Fast-Growing Convenience Retail

Singapore’s Express Grocery Chain is a fast-growing convenience supermarket chain operating multiple outlets across Singapore, with 4 additional stores scheduled to open in the near term. The company has established itself as a reliable operator in the growing express supermarket segment, strategically targeting high-density urban and suburban areas where demand for quick, reliable grocery solutions continues to rise.

To accelerate growth, the company plans to expand aggressively through both organic growth and strategic acquisitions, with a target of 8 additional outlets by the end of 2026.

To fuel this expansion, the company is raising investment in tranches of S$500,000 per investor, structured to align investor protection with strong upside potential.
