PRESS RELEASE: SEREMBAN 2 GETS A LIFESTYLE BOOST AS IJM LAND WELCOMES VILLAGE GROCER
IJM Land has announced the arrival of Village Grocer in Seremban 2, a premium neighbourhood grocer that will serve as a new heartbeat for the township. Scheduled to open in Q4 2027, this RM25 million investment is set to transform grocery shopping into an elevated lifestyle experience, bringing freshness, quality and modern convenience to the daily lives of over 62,000 residents.
As Seremban 2 continues its transformation into a vibrant, self-sustaining township, the introduction of Village Grocer marks another defining milestone. Earlier this month, IJM Land held the groundbreaking ceremony for the new premium grocer, officially commencing its construction. The store will be built on a 1.9-acre parcel with a total built-up area of 26,240 square feet, designed with shopper comfort in mind and supported by 100 parking bays for added convenience and accessibility.
A PREMIUM LIFESTYLE OFFERING
Village Grocer is known for delivering a premium shopping experience defined by freshness, quality, and variety. In Seremban 2, the new store will bring this signature standard to life with produce delivered daily, a curated range of gourmet and organic items, and an extensive selection of international favourites.
The meat and seafood counters will showcase premium cuts alongside responsibly sourced varieties, while health-conscious shoppers will find a wide array of choices that include artisanal cheeses and gluten-free essentials. Designed with families in mind, the store will feature wider aisles, child-friendly trolleys, and thoughtful amenities that ensure comfort and ease at every visit. Seasonal highlights and festive campaigns will add colour and vibrancy throughout the year, celebrating Malaysia’s rich flavours and traditions while making each shopping trip an engaging experience.
“We are excited to bring Village Grocer to Seremban 2, a community that reflects the growth and vibrancy we strive to serve,” said Mr Ivan Tan, Group Executive Director of TFP Retail Sdn Bhd. “Our commitment has always been to provide customers with the freshest produce, quality groceries, and a shopping experience that combines convenience with discovery. This new store will allow us to be part of the everyday lives of families in Seremban 2 while supporting local producers and creating a lively destination for the township.”
ENRICHING THE COMMUNITY AND ECONOMY
The arrival of Village Grocer is set to transform the way residents shop while stimulating new momentum in the local economy. The grocer is expected to create 90 to 150 direct jobs in operations, specialty sections, and management, providing meaningful opportunities for the community.”
In addition to direct employment, the store’s presence will open up further opportunities through collaborations with farmers, suppliers, and small to medium enterprises. These linkages are projected to generate another 150 to 300 jobs in agriculture, logistics, and services. They will also encourage higher quality standards, stronger supply chains, and new product development, creating a ripple effect that strengthens both the local economy and Malaysia’s retail industry.
As a daily needs anchor, Village Grocer is also positioned to boost surrounding businesses. Retailers, cafes, and dining outlets will gain from stronger foot traffic, longer dwell times, and repeat visits. Together, these dynamics will build a more resilient commercial ecosystem, driving growth, energy, and opportunity throughout Seremban 2.
A TOWNSHIP IN MOTION
“Village Grocer’s entry into Seremban 2 is a retail milestone and a powerful statement of how far this township has come and the direction it is moving toward,” said Datuk Chai Kian Soon, Chief Operating Officer of IJM Land.
“Our vision has always been to create a township where families can live with ease, where businesses can thrive, and where communities can flourish. The arrival of Village Grocer strengthens that vision by enhancing daily convenience, enriching the fabric of Seremban 2, and setting a higher benchmark for township living. This development brings energy and vitality that will open new opportunities, reinforcing Seremban 2’s position as a benchmark destination in Negeri Sembilan and an emerging model of affluent and modern urban living for the wider region.”
Since its inception, Seremban 2 has evolved from a quiet greenfield into a 3,800-acre master planned community that combines homes, schools, healthcare, green spaces, and commercial centres. The addition of Village Grocer will amplify this ecosystem by bringing new energy to daily life. Early morning visits for fresh produce, after-work top-ups, and weekend shopping will add movement and rhythm to the township, turning everyday routines into lively community moments.
“As Seremban 2 marks its 30th anniversary, the arrival of Village Grocer carries symbolic weight, celebrating how far the township has come and serving as a clear sign of its readiness to step into the next chapter of growth as a leading retail and lifestyle hub in the region,” added Chai.
SHAPING THE NEXT CHAPTER
The momentum of Seremban 2 continues with the launch of IKON Residences. Set to become the tallest residential tower in the township, this freehold development is charting a new benchmark for modern living, offering sweeping views, thoughtfully designed spaces, and city-style conveniences, all embraced by lush greenery.
Village Grocer will serve as a lifestyle anchor within this evolving landscape, complementing new residential growth, enhancing commercial vibrancy, and cementing IJM Land’s long-term vision of Seremban 2 as a complete, thriving and self-sustaining township. Each milestone adds vitality to the township, creating a place where daily life is enriched, communities grow stronger, and the future feels full of possibility.
