Homemart, a subsidiary of St. Anthony’s Group, was opened by the Chairman of St. Anthony’s Hardware (Pvt) Ltd, S. R Gnanam. Managing Director Praveen Gnanam, Directress Mrs. Shirani Gnanam, Director Thayananthan, General Manager Sarath Gamage and members of the senior management were also resen.
Managing Director Praven Gnanam said, “This is the first location that my grandfather, A. Y. S Gnanam set up St. Anthony’s Group in 1942. He worked here, built his business here, he even lived here and raised his young family on top of the stores in the early years. This place was the first home he ever built, and to him, the people who worked at St. Anthony’s were his family. So, it seems fitting that this old building, the birthplace and home of St. Anthony’s takes on a new life as a Homemart.
Homemart offers a selection of over 10,000 hardware and homeware products, across hundreds of brands, in coordination with over 200 local and international suppliers.
