Johor Bahru: A new grocery destination has officially opened its doors in Tampoi, Johor Bahru, and the opening-day response was certainly something to experience.

On 12 September 2026, we visited ST Rosyam Mart in Tampoi, Johor Bahru, to witness its official opening and see for ourselves what the new mart has to offer the local community.

And if there was one thing that immediately caught our attention, it was the crowd. At around 8:45 AM, shoppers were already arriving and lining up to register as ST Rosyam Mart members.

There was a sense of excitement around the entrance, with many people eager to get inside and take advantage of the special opening promotions.

New members were also able to enjoy benefits such as free reusable shopping bags, which came in handy later when we started filling our own bags with groceries.

But, of course, the biggest attraction was the promotional pricing. 8 Sen Whole Chicken and RM0.88 Tilapia

It was certainly one of the promotions that attracted shoppers to the mart, and the crowd around the chicken section quickly grew as people looked to take advantage of the deal.

There were also various other promotions throughout the mart, including selected vegetables and grocery items offered at remarkably low prices.

What made these promotions particularly interesting was that many of them involved basic household necessities products that families would normally purchase during their regular grocery trips.

During the opening ceremony, we had the opportunity to witness Datuk Rosyam Nor, Director of ST Rosyam Mart, together with Dato’ Raymond Ho Cheng Hann, Group Managing Director of Sri Ternak.

This is also an interesting development from a local employment perspective, as the new outlet continues to create job opportunities for people in Johor Bahru.

Once the doors opened, the atmosphere inside ST Rosyam Mart was definitely lively. We were welcomed by staff positioned throughout different sections of the mart, and shoppers quickly spread across the various departments.

The fresh food and wet market areas were among the sections we explored. The seafood was neatly displayed, while the wet market section also featured a selection of live seafood.

The overall area looked clean and organised despite the large number of shoppers moving around. Plenty to Explore in the Grocery Section. Moving into the grocery area, the crowds continued.

Some of the vegetable promotions were also priced as low as 8 sen per pack, adding to the excitement among shoppers looking for affordable groceries.

With so many promotions happening at the same time, it was easy to understand why the mart became so busy shortly after opening.

The crowd was especially noticeable at the cashier area. With so many shoppers carrying their groceries, the mart had opened its payment terminals to accommodate the large number of customers.

Fortunately, our reusable bags from the membership registration came in handy.

After going around the mart and picking up some of the promotional items, we ended up with two bags of groceries.

And the total? Less than RM72! For us, this was probably one of the more interesting parts of the visit. Affordable Everyday Essentials

Many were everyday grocery necessities that families would normally buy, chicken, fish, vegetables and other household grocery items.

For families who are always looking for ways to manage their weekly grocery budget, promotions like these can certainly make a difference.

Of course, promotional prices may be subject to availability and specific membership conditions, so shoppers should always check the latest promotions when visiting.

Another interesting feature of ST Rosyam Mart is that it is said to operate 24 hours a day. This could be convenient for shoppers who prefer doing their grocery shopping outside the usual daytime hours.

So, if you're worried about the huge crowds we experienced during the opening day, there is always the option of visiting at a later time when things have settled down.

Whether you're looking for fresh food, groceries or simply want to explore a new shopping destination in Johor Bahru, ST Rosyam Mart is certainly a new place to keep on your radar.

For those planning to visit, it may be worth checking the latest membership promotions and offers before heading down, especially if you're interested in the special opening deals.
