About Us

Matahari (“Company”) has a deep legacy in Indonesian retail. Beginning its journey on October 24, 1958 with the opening of its first outlet, a children’s fashion store in Jakarta, Matahari went on to open Indonesia’s first modern department store in 1972. Matahari has transformed itself as one of the most resilient retailers in Indonesia and has been recognised as the largest retail platform in Indonesia, providing the growing Indonesian middle class with quality merchandise in its key categories. After relaunching its brand positioning and identity as the “House of Specialists”, Matahari began to focus on four main things: Products, Price, Customer Experience, and People.

Currently, Matahari operates 155 stores in around 82 cities all over Indonesia as well as online presence on matahari.com, chat-based commerce platform “Shop & Talk”, and third-party marketplaces.
