99 Speedmart is a Malaysian chain of convenience stores and is one of the largest mini market chain in the country, before KK Super Mart. Colloquially referred to as 99 by locals. It was founded by Lee Thiam Wah in 1987 as a traditional sundry store in Klang, Selangor. After the rebranding of 99 Market to 99 Speedmart in 2000, the company expanded with a new store opening at Batu Belah, Klang. Since its inception, 99 Speedmart has evolved from a single mini market to the largest mini market retail chain in Malaysia.
