After being closed down for renovations earlier this year, STO People's Choice has finally opened its doors to the general public. With an expanded floor area and a sleek new modern design which complements the company's logo, it's something that's bound to catch anyone's eye as they walk past it.
It was opened officially last night (March 15, 2022), by Vice President Faisal Naseem along with STO's Managing Director Hussain Amr Mohamed Rasheed and a handful of STO's business partners.
They opened with an even larger range as they have now included STO Pharmacy, STO Home Improvement, along with several private businesses in the floor plan. It truly is a one-stop-shop for all kinds of supermart now.
The private companies that have spaces in the superstore saw it as an opportunity to grow their businesses. These businesses include City Bakery, NOT Cosmetics, Poise, MAxcom, Marathon, Asrafee Bookshop, and Peek-a-boo.
One of the Operations Managers of one of the private businesses, City Investment's Abdulla Zubair mentioned that City Bakery's entire 200 product range would be available from the new location.
Similarly, NOTE Cosmetics’ Chief Marketing Officer Ismail Azmee mentioned that the opportunity to have their products displayed and sold at the superstore was a one-of-a-kind opportunity for many private businesses, and he did thank STO for the opportunity.
“We consider this the best location in Male’ from which to serve our customers. The people from islands will also come here, so they too, can receive this service,” he said.
Poise's Managing Director Ilyas Mohamed commented, “Private businesses will boom with support like this from the government at such a time,”
And of course, like every year, STO People's Choice will be launching its Ramadan sale soon.
