A Maldivian family business that grew from one small shop in Addu into a national importer, distributor and retailer.
Sunny Enterprises was established in 1993 as a retail outlet in Addu, the southernmost atoll of the Maldives. What began as a small family shop grew over three decades into a full-scale wholesale and retail business — today one of the country's recognised distributors in the trading industry.
We hold authorised distributorships in the Maldives for a number of international brands, and our products are supplied from Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Pakistan, China, Spain and beyond.
Over the years we have built a great network of customers from all over the country — from small island shops to cafés, resorts and households. Our range of premium-quality, affordable food and household products is what makes us different from the rest, and honest, lasting relationships with customers and suppliers remain at the heart of how we work.
Sunny Express — our cargo vessel, in service since 2000
How we work
Official Maldivian importer and distributor for 13 international food and household brands — from Lisa Farm jams to Tirma chocolates and B29 detergents.
Two Sunny Store outlets — in Malé and Addu City — serving walk-in customers, shops and businesses with the full Sunny Enterprises range.
Our own vessel, Sunny Express, has carried cargo between Malé and Addu since 2000 — for us and for other companies — calling at Thinadhoo and Fiyoree along the way.
We don't just ship boxes — we market and promote our brands locally, from in-store tastings to co-sponsoring national events like the F&B Show.
The man behind Sunny Enterprises
Sunny Enterprises began as a small shop in Addu, opened by Mr. Abdulla Saeed Didi — a humble, down-to-earth businessman whose interest in trade grew from his homeland into a company known across the Maldives.
His dedication took him abroad to learn the world's trade markets, building the knowledge and the trust of international suppliers that turned one shop into a leading import and distribution house.
Today that legacy continues with Sunny Store outlets in Malé and Addu City, a portfolio of exclusive brand distributorships, and the Sunny Express cargo vessel serving the southern atolls.
