Village Grocer, the premium supermarket chain, has its root in a small, family-run sundry shop in Gombak that started in the 1950s. The founder and Managing Director for Village Grocer Holdings Sdn Bhd, Mr Ong Kim Too and his family took a big leap by opening Pasaraya OTK Gombak (later is known as Pasaraya OTK Medan Idaman) in year 1997.
The business was established in Medan Idaman, Gombak where they bought the 3 and a half storeys shop and it became a turning point for the company. In year 2000, the Ong family opened another outlet of Pasaraya OTK in Sentul. The businesses keep on growing when another outlet was opened in year 2003 and known as Pasaraya OTK Puchong.
2004 has become another history for Ong family when they opened an upscale supermarket situated in Bangsar Village and the name of Village Grocer was created by Mr. Ong Kim Too himself. In Village Grocer Bangsar, the food selections are different and more premium as catering for different group of people especially expatriates.
20 years ago, Pasaraya OTK became a go-to place for fresh produce & grocery items. 13 years ago, the first VG was born in Bangsar Village to serve the residents surrounding Bangsar & KL with the widest premium produces, products and goods as catering for different group of people especially expatriates. From 1 VG, we have grown to 8 outlets as at Dec 2016.
