History
In May 2002, Dato’ Sri Lee Kar Whatt, alongside his relatives and Pang Kueh Khim, opened Kedai Ekonomi Hari-Hari in Kota Bharu, Kelantan. Not long after that, he closed down the shop and established Eco Shop Marketing in September 2003, alongside his brother Lee Tiong Bin, Kueh Khim, and a third-party investor. Eventually, they opened the first RM 2 store in Gemas Baru, Johor in the same year.[3]
In 2010, the company established its headquarters and new warehouse facility in Jementah, a small town in Segamat, Johor.[4] Eco-Shop celebrated the opening of its 100th outlet in 2018 in Gombak, Selangor and its 300th outlet in 2024 in Nu Sentral, Kuala Lumpur.[5]
