About
Built in Malé. Built by operating.
City Investments grew from a local production business into a group spanning bakery, restaurants, retail, hygiene, distribution and franchise operations.
The story starts in 2002.
City Bakery central production opened in Malé in 2002, producing bread and baked goods for a growing city. City Investments Pvt Ltd was established in 2005 as the business expanded into additional outlets, restaurants and new operating categories.
As the market changed, the group expanded where it could add something useful: more bakery outlets, restaurants and cafés, professional hygiene, international product distribution and franchise operations. The portfolio changed over time, but the operating principle stayed consistent: understand the standard, build the capability, and deliver it reliably.
