History

Agora was founded in Dhaka on 2001 by Rahimafrooz Superstores Ltd of Rahimafrooz group.[5] In 2006 Agora was fined 100 thousand taka by Mobile court over food safety.[6] By 2008, it had 4 superstore retain branches in Dhaka.[7] The store uses 50 thousand rural farmers and traders to supply itself.[8] In 2011, the store opened its first branch in Chittagong.[9] The same Agora acquired rival brand PQS in Dhaka.[10] By 2012, Agora had 10 branches in Bangladesh.[11]

Agora branch in Mohammadpur was fined in 2013 and again in 2014 for selling stale vegetables.[12] In 2015, Agora won the best retail brand award by Bangladesh Brand Forum.[13] On 15 May 2016, Agro and other superstores closed their stores in protest overfine issued by Bangladesh Food Safety Authority for selling date expired food on 12 May 2016. The Shantinagar branch manager Monirul Islam of Agora was sentenced to 2 years imprisonment by the mobile court of Bangladesh Food Safety Authority.[14][15][16]

Acquisition of Softlogic Holdings

Sri Lankan conglomerate Softlogic's retail holdings wing entered into an agreement on 4 March 2022 to fully acquire Agora, according to public disclosure by the Lankan conglomerate. The acquisition of a 100% stake in the company via a series of transactions would be subject to terms and conditions set out therein and receipt of regulatory approvals, Softlogic Holding PLC said in its regulatory filing in Colombo Stock Exchange. Neither Softlogic nor Agora owners disclosed the deal value. Investment banking sources, however, estimate that the amount might be something between Tk181 and Tk249 crore, citing previous events.[17]
