NILAI, 30 May 2025 – There’s something special about watching a community bloom—especially when a fresh food haven lands right in the heart of it. This week, we had the pleasure of witnessing the grand opening of Village Grocer’s 33rd outlet, nestled within the vibrant township of Myra Park, Nilai. And let me tell you—it’s more than just a grocery store; it’s a lifestyle statement.
As we entered the beautifully designed Myra Park Marketplace, we could already feel the energy shift. From young families strolling with little ones to senior citizens excited about new shopping options, the vibe was nothing short of wholesome. Village Grocer’s presence here truly complements the modern charm and green living philosophy of Myra Park.
Strategically located within a thoughtfully planned residential community, this outlet is designed to be a one-stop destination—offering not just food, but a full sensory experience. Fresh produce glistened under warm lights, while the aroma from the bakery section made it hard to resist grabbing a croissant (or two… for research purposes, of course).
I spoke to a few early shoppers who echoed the same sentiment: “Finally, we have quality and convenience without needing to drive all the way into KL.” For families and working adults in Nilai and nearby areas, this is a game changer. No more long drives for fresh, premium groceries—everything you need is now right around the corner.
Mr. Kim Lin Teng, CEO of CHJ Property, emphasized Myra Park’s mission to elevate everyday living with curated amenities. “Myra Park Marketplace will be the lifestyle hub for residents and visitors alike,” he shared, highlighting how projects like this add heart to a township.
Mr. Ong Kim Too, Group Executive Chairman of The Food Purveyor (TFP), who officially opened the store alongside key leaders. He thanked Oriental Interest Berhad for the collaboration, sharing that Nilai has long been a target location for expansion. “We’re here not just to sell groceries—but to be part of the community,” he said warmly.
From imported gourmet cheeses to locally sourced vegetables, Village Grocer at Myra Park offers a delicious mix of international and Malaysian flavors. But what really stands out is their passion for supporting local farmers and small brands—something that aligns beautifully with 1319’s own heart for community upliftment.
Mr. Kok Kian Kee, TFP’s CEO, added a practical touch by reminding us how this outlet brings convenience closer to home. “We want families to access the freshest, healthiest choices without the need for long-distance travel,” he shared. It’s not just about quality—it’s about accessibility, too.
As a brand, Village Grocer is also walking the talk when it comes to sustainability. They’ve pledged to be plastic-free, and their ongoing ESG efforts have earned them multiple awards. With such strong environmental consciousness, this opening feels like a breath of fresh air—literally and metaphorically—for Nilai.
With doors open daily from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., Village Grocer Myra Park is set to become more than just a supermarket. It’s a weekend stop for families, a source of joy for foodies, and a sign of growth for Nilai’s future.
