State Trading Organization Plc (STO)
The roots of State Trading Organization PLC (STO), date back to 1964 when it was opened to finance the purchasing and importation of essential food items needed for the Maldivian community. Since then, STO has entered more areas of trade and other business to meet the growing demands of a developing nation with rising living standards. It has expanded geographically, spun off subsidiaries and formed partnerships to meet opportunity.
STO group, with its subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates, is a national leader in business focusing on petroleum, cooking gas, construction materials, medical supplies and pharmaceuticals, FMCG products and insurance. The fast-growing company has become a truly diverse business organization.
STO People's Choice
The key mandate of STO People’s Choice remained the same, to providing staple food, household appliances, essential food, supermart products and more. All the while ensuring affordability, accessibility and better customer experience. The segments offer ranges of both low and high-end brands, which over the years were improved by increasing the varieties and overall product portfolio.
To ensure improved customer well-being and lifestyle, we have established the first-ever hypermarket concept convenient store in Maldives. This store showcases a wide variety of products and assortments under one roof where we encourage family-oriented atmosphere for shopping. This also ensures development of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) as more shelves and space had been leased, empowering SMEs and providing new opportunities to expand their businesses. This store was opened on March 2022. Furthermore, many key initiatives have been planned to strengthen its business and contribute to the improvement of overall customer experience.
