CU Malaysia is expanding once again, bringing its popular Korean convenience store experience to Kelantan!
Now open at UTC Kelantan, this latest outlet joins two others in the region, giving the lively Kota Bharu community an exciting taste of South Korea like never before.
This expansion is a part of CU Malaysia's mission to spread its footprint across the nation, from Peninsular Malaysia to East Malaysia
"CU's market presence is rapidly expanding across the East Coast, driven by a robust demand for our authentic Korean food and drinks made with Halal certified ingredients," said Blake Dang, Director of CU Malaysia.
The brand has ambitious plans to reach 200 stores nationwide by 2025, bringing Korean delights to more Malaysians.
The grand opening of CU at UTC Kelantan took place on 15 August, and was officially opened by State Investment, Industry, Human Resources, Trade and Entrepreneurship Committee Chairman Datuk Md Anizam Ab. Rahman.
"This grand opening represents not just the expansion of our brand, but also our commitment to empower small Kelantanese businesses by providing them with a platform to sell their products in our stores. CU is committed to support local entrepreneurs and fostering economic growth within Kelantan," said Dang.
During the grand opening, the brand launched its 'Allowance That Allows' initiative
As part of CU Malaysia's ongoing efforts to give back to the community, this initiative aims to support 100 underprivileged students in Kelantan by easing their financial burdens. A total of RM240,000 was distributed, reinforcing CU Malaysia's dedication to helping the local community thrive.
And what better way to celebrate than by exploring the delicious range of Korean treats now available at CU Malaysia
From Dopbap (Korean Rice Set) and Dak Gang Jeong (Korean Fried Chicken) to Tteokbokki (Korean Rice Cakes) and the exclusive Mega XL Gimbaps, stuffed to the brim with seafood or chicken fillings — there's something for everyone to enjoy.
CU Malaysia is all about taking your taste buds on a journey straight to the bustling streets of Seoul, without ever leaving your local store.
