For those who remember it well, the spot where the current premises of Courts Mammoth in Jalan Genting Kelang used to be the premises of Rich's supermarket. It was the first supermarket in the area and came into being somewhere in the late 80s.
Just like any good supermarket, Rich's sold anything from groceries to household appliances. It was pretty popular and during promotional periods, scores of shoppers from Gombak, Setapak and even as far as Ulu Kelang and Sentul make a beeline for the place.
However, for some unknown reason, it lasted only a couple of years. Some say it was bad location, others say it was bad management. The complex died and the three-storey building remained empty for a while before Courts Mammoth rose in its shadow.
Today, all memories of Rich's have been erased. However, its reputation remained as the first shopping complex (okay, supermarket) to arrive in the Setapak, Genting Kelang and Gombak suburb.
