Market Place—previously known as Market Place by Jasons, Jason's Food & Living, and Jasons ichiba in Hong Kong—alongside Cold Storage Fresh in Singapore (formerly Market Place, Jasons, and Jasons Deli) and The Marketplace in the Philippines (formerly Market Place by Rustan's) represent premium supermarket brands under the ownership of DFI Retail Group. In mainland China, the group operates a joint venture with Beijing Hualian Group named BHG Market Place. The company previously managed stores under the name Jasons Market Place in Taiwan, which were divested to Carrefour. In Malaysia, the chain Mercató—once called Jasons Food Hall—is now owned by Macrovalue Sdn Bhd following its 2023 acquisition of DFI’s food retail operations in that country.
In addition to these, DFI runs comparable supermarket formats through its 3hreeSixty and Oliver's The Delicatessen brands within Hong Kong. The corporation’s portfolio across Asia also includes notable chains such as Wellcome, Cold Storage, Hero, and Giant.
History
The origin of Jasons Market Place dates back to Singapore in 1975, with expansion into Taiwan occurring in 2003. The brand made its Hong Kong debut in 2007 at Jardine's Lookout under the name "Market Place by Jasons". In Malaysia, 2012 saw the introduction of Jasons Food Hall at Bangsar Shopping Centre, which took over a former Cold Storage location. The Taiwan business was sold to Carrefour in 2020 and subsequently rebranded as Mia C'bon starting in 2022.
Private labels
Products from DFI’s proprietary lines, Meadows and Yu Pin King, are available within Market Place supermarkets.
