Giant is a prominent supermarket chain with a deep-rooted history in the Southeast Asian retail landscape. Originally established in Malaysia, the brand has grown significantly since its inception in 1944 as a small grocery store in Kuala Lumpur. Over the decades, it evolved into a household name, known for providing a wide range of fresh produce, household essentials, and private-label goods to millions of consumers.

The brand's growth trajectory led it to become a key asset within the regional retail sector, eventually coming under the stewardship of Dairy Farm International Holdings (now DFI Retail Group). However, in recent years, the ownership structure of Giant's operations in Malaysia underwent a significant transition. In 2023, the local operations were acquired by Macrovalue Sdn Bhd, a company led by local entrepreneurs, marking a return to local ownership for the Malaysian branch of the brand.

Giant products, particularly its house-brand items, are sourced and manufactured in multiple countries depending on the specific commodity or category. This global and regional supply chain ensures that the brand can maintain its competitive pricing and variety across its stores in Malaysia and Singapore.
