Rising restaurateur, Sue-Shan Quek ’03, helms The Supermarket Company with a curious streak that keeps her looking for next big project.
Founder and managing partner at The Supermarket Company, Sue-Shan Quek, AAS Graphic Design ’03, moved away from her family’s business to strike out on her own and be a restaurateur. She is now the CEO of The Supermarket Company, which is comprised of trendy spots throughout Singapore, including Sprmrkt in McCallum Street, Sprmrkt Daily and Sprmrkt Kitchen & Bar.
Quek started a food kiosk, Koskos, and later opened Sprmrkt, a project in which Quek set out to refresh the restaurant model. Sprmrkt merges a restaurant, retail, and gallery space under one roof. To Quek, the Sprmrkt brand, which retails speciality South-east Asian produce and products by household brands from artisans in Singapore, is a way to help change perceptions of South-east Asian products.
