If a new supermarket opens nearby, it is usually worth taking a look, especially when the opening comes with a good selection of shopping deals and freebies. For shoppers around Iskandar Puteri and Johor Bahru, Village Grocer is bringing something a little more exciting with the grand opening of its newest store at Horizon Mall on 3 September 2026.
The new Village Grocer at Horizon Mall, Iskandar Puteri will officially open its doors from 10am to 10pm, giving shoppers plenty of time to drop by, explore the new store and take advantage of several opening promotions. There will also be a lion dance performance at 9.30am, making the opening morning an interesting time to visit.
What makes this opening more appealing is that the promotions are not limited to just one day. Several complimentary gifts and shopping rewards are lined up across September, although quantities are limited and some offers are available only to shoppers who meet specific spending requirements.
Opening Day Deals Worth Looking Out For
The main opening celebration takes place on 3 September, and this is when shoppers can expect some of the most attractive offers.
One of the highlights is the Bumper Bonanza B1F1 Deals and More promotion. For anyone who already has a grocery shopping list to work through, this could be a useful opportunity to look out for selected products available under the B1F1 offer. As with most opening-day promotions, stocks are limited, so arriving earlier is advisable.
There are also several free gifts tied to minimum spending amounts.
Spend at least RM150 on 3 September and shoppers can redeem one exclusive goodie bag, with only 200 redemptions available per day. For those planning a larger grocery shop, spending RM300 comes with another opportunity to receive a Fruits & Vegetable Giftbag. However, only 50 redemptions are available, making this one of the offers where shoppers will want to be early.
Another opening-day reward is a free 100 Plus Ori Zero Grape 1.5L with a minimum spend of RM100. There are 216 redemptions available per day.
The different spending thresholds mean shoppers can choose an offer that fits naturally with their grocery needs rather than buying something simply to reach an unnecessarily high amount. It is still important to check the terms and conditions before making payment, as the complimentary items are subject to availability.
More Freebies Coming Throughout September
The opening celebration does not end on 3 September.
Village Grocer has also arranged several additional complimentary gifts on selected dates throughout the month. This makes the promotion worth remembering even for shoppers who cannot make it to the grand opening day.
On 10 September, shoppers who spend a minimum of RM100 can receive one free Pasta Di Martino Fusilli 500G. There are 200 redemptions available per day.
On 12 September, there is a particularly interesting offer for seafood shoppers. Customers who spend at least RM350 specifically on fresh seafood products can receive one Fresh Norwegian Atlantic Salmon Whole weighing 3-4KG. With only 30 redemptions available per day, this is clearly one of the more limited offers and will likely attract shoppers who regularly buy fresh seafood.
The freebies continue on 17 September, when a minimum spend of RM100 comes with one free Paldo Rice Punch 1.5L, subject to 200 redemptions per day.
Then, on 24 September, shoppers who spend at least RM100 can receive one Wonda Iced Cappuccino PET 500ML. There are 216 redemptions available per day for this offer.
For regular grocery shoppers, these offers can be more useful than simply receiving a small promotional item. The complimentary products include groceries, drinks, pasta, fresh produce-related rewards and even a substantial seafood item. If a shopping trip was already planned, meeting the relevant minimum spend could make the visit more worthwhile.
New Bites Members Can Enjoy Extra Rewards
There is another reason to consider joining Village Grocer’s Bites membership during the opening promotion.
New Bites members who spend a minimum of RM150 on 3 September can receive one free Savoir Kampung Eggs 15S, limited to the first 300 members. This means shoppers who are already interested in signing up should consider doing it early rather than waiting until later in the day.
New members can also receive a Village Grocer Non-Woven Bag with a minimum spend of RM30 on 3 September. The offer is limited to one redemption per member.
For those who have not joined the Bites programme yet, registration is available through the Bites App. The membership is free and instant, and members can also enjoy discount e-vouchers.

The important thing is to understand that some of the membership rewards have separate conditions and limited quantities. Checking the promotion details before heading out can save time and help shoppers decide which spending threshold they want to target.
Why Should Shoppers Visit the New Village Grocer?
A grand opening is always a good excuse to discover a new supermarket, but the promotions make this particular visit more interesting.
First, the range of spending-based freebies gives shoppers an opportunity to get something extra from a grocery trip they may already be planning. Instead of making a special purchase purely for a free gift, shoppers can plan their usual household shopping around the available thresholds.
Secondly, there are several different promotion dates throughout September. Those who cannot attend the 3 September opening do not necessarily miss everything. The Pasta Di Martino promotion on 10 September, salmon offer on 12 September, Paldo Rice Punch promotion on 17 September and Wonda Iced Cappuccino offer on 24 September provide additional reasons to visit later in the month.
The grand opening atmosphere is another attraction. The lion dance performance at 9.30am gives early visitors something to watch before the store opens for regular shopping at 10am. For families or shoppers who enjoy checking out new retail spaces, it can be a pleasant way to start the day.
There is also the simple advantage of having another grocery shopping option in the Iskandar Puteri area. A new Village Grocer location means shoppers can explore its selection of fresh food, groceries, household essentials and other products while seeing what the new store has to offer.
Plan the Visit Carefully
Anyone hoping to claim one of the free gifts should keep the limited redemption quantities in mind. Some offers have only 30, 50, 200 or 216 redemptions available, while the new-member egg promotion is limited to the first 300 members.
This means the advertised minimum spend does not automatically guarantee a free gift. The offers are subject to availability and are on a first-come, first-served basis.
It is also worth keeping receipts and checking the redemption requirements at the store. Different promotions apply on different dates, and some have specific conditions, such as the RM350 fresh seafood spending requirement for the salmon offer.

A New Grocery Stop with Plenty to Look Forward To
The opening of Village Grocer at Horizon Mall is more than just another supermarket opening. With B1F1 deals, complimentary groceries and drinks, a goodie bag, a Fruits & Vegetable Giftbag, a fresh Norwegian salmon giveaway and additional Bites member rewards, there are plenty of reasons for bargain hunters to keep the dates in mind.
The biggest appeal is that shoppers can potentially combine their normal grocery spending with an extra reward. For those living or working around Iskandar Puteri and Johor Bahru, it could be a convenient opportunity to check out the new store while making the most of its opening promotions.
The grand opening takes place on 3 September 2026, but several promotions continue until 24 September. As the freebies are limited and available while stocks last, early planning is recommended, particularly for the more limited offers.
For shoppers who enjoy discovering new stores, looking for useful freebies and stretching their grocery budget a little further, Village Grocer’s Horizon Mall opening is certainly one to add to the September shopping calendar.
