99 Speed Mart’s Southeast Asia 500 debut is the latest milestone for the company and its founder, a childhood polio survivor

99 Speed Mart, one of Malaysia’s largest convenience store chains, is one of the newest firms on the Southeast Asia 500, making its debut after its 2024 IPO, Malaysia’s largest in seven years.

With $2.2 billion in revenue, 99 Speed Mart generated enough sales to land it at No. 158 on Fortune’s ranking of the largest Southeast Asian companies by revenue. The company currently has 2,833 outlets and 20 distribution centers across the country, and plans to reach 3,000 outlets by the end of the year.
