About GAMA Supermarket & Departmental Store
GAMA opened in 1967 and has traded from its building on Jalan Dato Keramat, opposite Komtar, since 1980. The Malaysia Book of Records lists it as the country's first registered and oldest supermarket and department store. The supermarket is on the ground floor, with clothes and household goods on the floors above and a food court on the top floor.
It is a no-frills store with local prices, popular with Penang families rather than tourists, which makes it a good place to see what residents actually buy. Look for local coffee and tea, biscuits, sauces and dried goods at everyday prices. It is a 10 to 15-minute walk from the Lebuh Chulia guesthouses, or a short walk from the Komtar bus terminal.
