History

Best Mart opened its doors to the public in 7 July 1999. The store is the result of 3 generations of the Lee's family doing business since 1934 in Suriname. We were part of the earlier immigrants from China, also known as the Hakka Chinese. Our previous name was Tja Foe Lee, and we have built multiple stores throughout Suriname. In 2004, we received an award from the former President of the Central Bank of Suriname, the late Andre Telting, for maintaining and being conscious of lower prices in Suriname.
