Bataras Sdn Bhd is one of the leading retail chains in Sabah and Labuan that provides a wide range of fresh produce and groceries at an affordable rate. Mr Goh Thian Teck, the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Bataras, acquired the first Bataras outlet in 1998. Throughout the first 10 years, Bataras had opened 13 outlets and expanded to major cities and rural areas in Sabah. The company continues to grow after it acquired 13 outlets from GIANT, GHC Retail (M) Sdn. Bhd in 2018 and 5 outlets from Century Department Store in 2021. The acquisition has had Bataras topped the chart as the fastest growing retail chain in Sabah. To date, Bataras has 34 hypermarkets and supermarkets in Sabah, and its new concept store - Bataras Marketplace is created to bring more foreign and imported groceries and items into the local market. In 2022, Bataras extended its business line and opened Bataras Fresh Mart that is designed to provide imported and local fresh produce and livestock at an affordable rate.
