Ryan’s Grocery is Singapore’s only full-service organic butchery and allergen-friendly specialist store. The company's journey began in July 2015 when founders Sebastian and Wendy Chia learnt of their son’s – Ryan – intolerance to gluten, dairy, nuts, soy, egg, and yeast. They searched local markets for products and produce, and even made personal trips internationally to look for a range of dietary items to support his needs.
It was then they saw a demand for such a specialty store and Ryan’s Grocery was born. Ryan’s Grocery now services the local community, discerning shoppers and those with dietary intolerances with an all-inclusive range of organic and gluten-free products and meats. In December 2019, the brand launched its first overseas flagship store in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Its flagship outlet in Singapore with ‘Ryan’s Grocery’ and ‘Ryan’s Kitchen’ opened in Great World in January 2020, spanning a total of 4,200 sq ft.
Ryan’s Kitchen marks the brand’s first foray into the dining scene in Singapore and opened in January 2020 alongside Ryan’s Grocery’s flagship store in Great World. The cosy Australian-style café seats 40, and serves a delightful menu prepared with quality produce as well as organic, gluten- and preservation-free products that may also be purchased at Ryan’s Grocery.
A notable highlight of the café is its Pick & Grill service – customers can select their preferred cuts or house-made cured meats and sausages directly from the Butchery and have them prepared at a nominal fee at the café.
