FamilyMart Malaysia aims to roll out 300 halal-certified FamiCafe stores by 2025 as it stopped alcoholic beverage sales in all of its 360 stores around the country.
The alcoholic beverage removal program started last month.
According to Chia Lik Khai, MD of QL Maxincome Sdn Bhd, as alcoholic beverages have only been a small contributor to their business, they are expecting little impact.
FamiCafe in Menara U, Shah Alam, has received halal certification from Jabatan Kemajuan Islam Malaysia (JAKIM), the first convenience store cafe concept in Malaysia to receive this certification.
The company plans to increase its number of FamiCafe stores from 16 to 50 by the end of this year.
FamilyMart says that obtaining halal certification in their stores is the next step in providing greater assurance and confidence for customers to shop and dine with them.
