The Globe Silk Store Story

"The customer comes first has always been and always must be the guiding principle. The reason is simple: a delighted customer is the best guarantee of success. And a delighted customer is defined as one who gets more than his money's worth." - Tirathdas Jethanand 1912 - 1972 Founder Globe Silk Store

Globe Silk Store was founded in Segamat, Johore in 1930. The founder, Mr. Tirathdas Jethanand, believed that the most vital element was for people to have trust and confidence in his Store. It is this philosophy that has propelled Globe Silk Store from a modest beginning into one of the most popular stores in Malaysia. In 1947 it moved to Kuala Lumpur and expanded its operation by opening an outlet in Kuantan.

Being one of the pioneers in the retailing industry, Globe Silk Store is recognised for its strong positioning as one of the leading retailer for value for money, quality and customer service.

To meet the needs of demanding customers, Globe Silk Store introduced its in house private label, ‘DON’ in 1951 covering a wide range of merchandise. DON has evolved to become a popular and successful Malaysian brand, infused with the same core values and business philosophy of quality, value for money and fashion.

Acknowledged for its operational excellence, the prestigious World Executive Digest unanimously chose Globe Silk Store for its Operation Management Award for Malaysia in 1990. This further resolve the Globe commitment to maintain efficient management and place great emphasis on customer service. In 1996 Globe Silk Store was given the due recognition for superior service in the local retail industry by winning the RSH Service Excellence Award in the gold and diamond category.

While striving for quality and profitability, suppliers are important to Globe’s success. It has established long term relationship with suppliers whose values and quality are consistent with Globe.
