FujiMart Vietnam Retail, a joint venture between Japanese trading house Sumitomo and local retail and real estate conglomerate BRG Group, officially opened its first Vietnamese supermarket in Ha Noi on Sunday.

This is also the first FujiMart supermarket deployed by Sumitomo in Southeast Asia.

Speaking at the opening ceremony, BRG Group’s chairman Nguyen Thi Nga said BRG Group and its strategic partner, Sumitomo, are happy to introduce a successful retail model in Japan to the Vietnamese market. Both corporations hoped to give customers an experience of the Japanese shopping style along with a range of safe and healthy goods for the community.

According to Keisuke Hitotsumatsu, general director of Fujimart Vietnam, BRG Group and Sumitomo Group have great resources to invest in the FujiMart project, especially Sumitomo’s more than 50-year experience in supermarket chain operation and business, while BRG has extensive experience in Viet Nam.
