Information about my ex employer 4


Working at Jusco (for a while during my semester break) really

taught me to be more appreciate for what I have got all my life,

because I have been placed at an operation department (because

Jusco is one of retail store). Below I give a little information

about Jusco.



ÆON CO. (M) BHD. (formerly known as Jaya Jusco Stores Bhd.)

is a leading retailer in Malaysia with a total revenue of RM1.94

billion (10 months) in the financial year under review. The

Company was incorporated on 15 September 1984. ÆON CO.

(M) BHD. was set up in response to the Malaysian Government’s

invitation to ÆON Japan to help modernise the retailing industry

in Malaysia. The ‘JUSCO’ name today is well established among

Malaysians as well as foreigners, especially due to its association

with the international ÆON group of companies.

ÆON has established itself as a leading chain of general

merchandise stores. ÆON’s constant interior redecoration

of stores, to project an image designed to satisfy the ever

changing needs and desires of consumers, is clear evidence

of this. The Company’s performance has been further enhanced

by the management’s acute understanding of target market needs

and the provision of a correct product-mix.

ÆON’s stores are mostly situated in suburban residential areas,

catering to the vast middle income group.

The ÆON group of companies consists of ÆON Co. Ltd., and

more than 150 consolidated subsidiaries and affiliated companies.

In addition to its core general merchandise stores (GMS) plus its

supermarket and convenience store operations, ÆON is also

active in specialty store operations, shopping center development,

operations and services.

ÆON group of companies is an integrated Japanese retailer and

is active not only in Japan but also in Southeast Asia, China and

North America.

At all times, in every market, ÆON's activities are guided by the

unchanging 'Customer First' philosophy. Its aim is to surpass

expectations by combining excellent products with unique personal

services that enhance the shopping experience to make the customers

smile every time they shop.

How it all started ...
JAYA JUSCO is set up in Malaysia

In 1984, Jaya Jusco Stores Sdn. Bhd. was established in Malaysia,

in response to the Malaysian Prime Minister Dato' Seri Dr. Mahathir's

request to help modernise thee retail industry in Malaysia using the

world's most advanced management expertise. Dr. Mahathir

believed that the modernisation of the retail industry was

crucial for the country's economic growth. Prior to this, in

1983 Dr. Mahathir visited Tokyo

and met the then JUSCO Co., Ltd. President, Mr. Takuya Okada

to discuss the proposition of bringing the JUSCO name to Malaysia.

The talks ended on a positive note and Dr. Mahathir invited JUSCO

to set up store in Malaysia. All this was part of Dr. Mahathir's

Look East policy for Malaysia.

Following this, a joint venture company was established in September

1984. There were three parties involved: JUSCO Co., Ltd., Japan,

Peremba, a leading governmentowned property company and Cold

Storage, a premier supermarket chain store.

JAYA JUSCO's aim was to grow with the people of Malaysia

through the transfer of expertise from Japan to Malaysia and

human resource development, two factors which would contribute

greatly to the progress of Malaysia.
