Hayleys PLC, one of Sri Lanka’s largest and most diversified conglomerates owned by renowned business magnate Dhammika Perera, has announced its strategic entry into the country’s large-scale supermarket sector.
According to the company, the initiative will begin with the launch of 100 retail outlets across major urban and suburban areas, marking a significant expansion into the consumer retail space.
Hayleys stated that Sri Lanka’s improving economic conditions, rapid urbanization, and evolving consumer lifestyles present a substantial opportunity for growth in the retail industry. The group aims to capitalize on these trends through this bold new venture.
Dhammika Perera, who continues to dominate Sri Lanka’s business landscape, has further strengthened his corporate portfolio this year by acquiring four major companies, including Laugfs Holdings, underscoring his ongoing commitment to expanding and diversifying his business empire.
