Under its ownership, Navis also improved supplier relationships, expanding product lines including the introduction of a private label and digitising the customer loyalty program. Edwin Fua, a partner at Navis, stated: 'Everrise has a strong 30-year heritage, loyal customers and a dedicated team. By combining that with our prior experience in premium grocery, Everrise quickly became the undisputed leading brand for premium grocery shopping in East Malaysia. 'We are extremely proud of our partnership with the Sia family and appreciate their contributions in making this journey with us. The business is now well-positioned to take the next step and lead the digitalisation of the grocery shopping experience in East Malaysia together with Grab. It will be an exciting next few years and we look forward to its continued success.'
