In today’s fast-paced world, convenience is key. Minimarkets have steadily grown in popularity as they offer consumers a way to shop for essential goods quickly without the lengthy experience often associated with supermarkets or hypermarkets. Consumer preferences in Indonesia's retail landscape have shown a clear favorite: Indomaret. Muniyo Quick Polling found that 45% of people choosing Indomaret as their go-to minimarket. This shows that Indomaret has outshone competitors and solidified its role in everyday life.

Indomaret, officially known as PT Indomarco Prismatama, was established in June 1988. The initial concept focused on convenience, with stores designed to be located near residential areas. In 1997, Indomaret pioneered the franchise model for minimarkets in Indonesia, allowing individuals and cooperatives to own and operate their outlets. This innovative approach received a positive response from the public, leading to rapid growth in the number of franchisees. By 2003, Indomaret was recognized as the "Top Indonesian Franchise Company," an accolade that highlighted its role as a leader in the minimarket sector(indomaret.co.id).

Indomaret’s position as a top choice among Indonesian shoppers, chosen by nearly half of the respondents underscores its dominant position in Indonesia's retail sector. With effective marketing strategies focused on promotions, product variety, and affordability, Indomaret continues to meet the evolving needs of Indonesian consumers (Kamal & Akbar, 2021). As the minimarket segment grows, understanding these preferences will be vital for sustaining competitive advantages in the marketplace.
