High-end supermarket Jasons Food Hall is closing its business at Kuala Lumpur’s Bangsar Shopping Centre after 20 years of trading.

The store, which is owned by Hong Kong-headquartered Dairy Farm International, is now conducting a closing down sale – with the last day of business scheduled for March 22.

It is the sole Jasons Food Hall-branded supermarket in Kuala Lumpur.

The closure is part of Dairy Farm’s restructuring exercise that has seen a number of stores refurbished and a rationalization of the network, primarily affecting its Giant supermarket outlets.

The firm also operates high-end supermarket brands Mercato and Cold Storage.

Jasons Food Hall is positioned as a source of fresh foods and gourmet foreign foods with a strong delicatessen offer.
