One of the iconic landmark of belongs to prestigious company called Cargills. This building is renowned as Cargills building and there is a supermarket located at this place too

This wonderful heritage building is an icon in Colombo and also in Sri Lanka. When I was young, this was the place my parents took us because it was a large department store. Sadly, that department store has long gone and not many people shop in this part of Colombo because of security and parking restrictions. But the building itself evokes great memories for me.

1844 British businessman William Milne started ‘Milne & Company',[3] general warehousemen, importers of oilman stores etc,[4] with branches in Kandy and Galle. In 1850 Milne was joined by his friend, David Sime Cargill,[5] and the firm became ‘Milne, Cargill & Co'.[6] In 1860 Milne retired from business in Ceylon and moved back to Scotland to form a company in Glasgow to look after the business of Cargill & Co. in the UK. Cargill became the sole partner until he was joined by David MacKenzie and the name was changed to ‘Cargill & Co’. The company had a Colombo office at the intersection of Price and York Streets in Colombo Fort, a Kandy office at Upper Lake Road and an office in Galle Fort at 22 Pedlar Street. The Galle office was closed down in 1863. In 1890 the business expanded with the purchase of 'Medical Hall,’ a chemist and druggist company. Cargills also established another company, ‘Sime & Co.’,[6] which sold lower quality goods. In 1896 Cargill & Co. was converted into a Limited Liability Company registered in Glasgow.[4][6] Two years later, the company bought James McLaren &Co.’s business in Nuwara Eliya, establishing a branch there.

An architectural icon situated at the heart of Colombo Fort still exibiting its former glory as a landmark of great historical significance.

Historical places. Very beautiful location for a photoshoot. Busy after 7 AM

Cargills food city which located in majestic city, Bambalapitiya has poor customer service. We usually go there to buy some food items, at least one day they don't treat us well. When we put our goods in cashier' table,cashiers don't care us and they don't take our goods. We have to give them to their hands. Very disappointed

They HQed one of the most unique and antique buildings in central Colombo. Cargills Ceylon is also one of the Prestigious top companies in Sri Lanka. Their main Super Market chain is Food City which also offers a good and healthy customer service.

Just seen how brutal you have treated a lady Coustomer by bashing her to hospitalized ! Is this you have been archived over the years ? Shame on you ! How brutal a company can be to treat a consumer like this! Golden rule for the Coustomer service is Coustomer is always right If you cannot keep up with that what so ever you should not be in business We will stop going to cargils food cities #rejectcargils Date 22/9/2023

Historical heritage museum with a Dutch influence in the old fort area of Colombo. There’s still a retail supermarket operating in part of this building.

Mr Razaan and Rasik. The best call center agents who are with number 1 customer service skills. I hope the management will appreciate their work. Keep up guys.

Very good looking red and white historical building tourist attractive

Beautiful old building that has seen better days. The original wooden shelves still there. I hope cargill continues to maintain the building and the original structures/flooring/etc. One day, they will be able to make a truly gorgeous building out of this.

It's an antique building located near the Port area with essential stuffs only

This is an iconic landmark in Colombo, very old building.

They put about to expire items at the front at a higher discount than Normal, even though they are not officially expired almost wasted. Happened couple of times when I was buying milk. Throughly check Expiration dates. And not to mentioned about horrible customer service when complained.

As a supermarket at the heart of Colombo Fort this place is really useful. It sits deep inside the massive old Cargills building. For me, it reflects the sad story of once giant Cargills. If I'm wrong wish Cargills renovate this place like its other stores

Variety of items are available to purchase. They sell even liquor at a separate counter.

A very old building in colombo. Now has multiple businesses inside the premises. Mainly has a supermarket.

Old building. Has the Cargills Foodcity in it.

Lots of space in the place that could have been utilised. It is an old building but could have been really nice if refurbished. U can get ur atuff from here if u r staying nearby. Not a typical cargills shop u see around

A very good and a convenient place to buy the essentials.

Sadly this super market which was flourishing a few years ago had been completely neglected due to very pathetic security alerts imposed by the security authorities

neoclassical architectural building, Nice place to visit

Interesting building in the port district. Now a supermarket (with other stores). We did some useful shopping and kept cool.

Very gloomy place, gives a real feel of shopping in the 80s. Place doesn't have A/C and limited goods, also just two checkouts (if lucky)
