Sheng Siong, one of the successful supermarkets in Singapore, serving a total of 25 years round the country. Currently in the year of 2010, they have a total of 23 supermarkets and hypermarkets with additional holdings on 5 food courts.

In addition to his success in the supermarket field, the company also held a Channel 8 Variety Show – “The Sheng Siong Show” where even a Korean Pop Idol group was invited as part of entertainment for this programme.
Sheng Siong was also awarded top 500 retail enterprises in Singapore. [1]

In this report, we will further discuss how Sheng Siong operates and the various strategies that Sheng Siong has incorporated to propel their success.
