Cargills Online : A Supermarket In Your Pocket

Cargills Ceylon, Introduced their first e-grocery mobile application in Sri Lanka- Cargills Online. Cargills Online was conceptualised to be not just an e-commerce platform, but a complete overhaul of the grocery supply chain, ensuring convenience and guaranteeing customers get what they order. Cargills envisioned a more advanced online platform than those that existed in the niche e-grocery segment.

Went there for a quick lunch on a weekdays with my friends. The concept of having a small restaurant in supermarkets seems to be gaining moment now. They have created a really nice mini restaurant inside Cargills. The ambience is pretty welcoming. They have nice selection of food items which includes rice & curry, fried rice, noodles, grills, burgers, pastas, sushi, sashimi and so on. The staff is very helpful. The overall experience was very nice and will return for more food.
