DFI Retail Group, formerly known as Dairy Farm International, is a leading pan-Asian retailer with a rich history dating back to 1886. Founded in Hong Kong by Sir Patrick Manson and five businessmen as a dairy enterprise, the company has evolved into a massive conglomerate operating grocery stores, convenience stores, health and beauty outlets, and home furnishing stores across various Asian markets.

The group manages an extensive portfolio of well-known brands such as Wellcome, Giant, Cold Storage, Guardian, and 7-Eleven (franchisee). While the company originated in the dairy industry, today it serves as a retail platform for thousands of consumer goods manufactured globally.
