Is the shop open?

The business is clearly trading. On 13 October 2026 its Shopee shop showed it had been active minutes earlier, and its Lazada shop had a voucher for October 2026. The walk-in shop is less certain. Its newest Google review, from November 2022, says the shop was shut during the hours listed on Maps, and there are no reviews since. Call or WhatsApp 012-409 5290 before you visit, and ask whether you can collect online orders at the shop.

What it sells

The shop’s own photos on Google Maps are undated, so they show its range rather than today’s stock. The photo of its electrical shelves, pictured above, shows:

  • Fans: boxed KDK ceiling fans (K15V0) and a KDK wall fan (KU408).
  • Lamps: Philips fluorescent tubes, Hitachi lamps and Evenzo LED bulbs.
  • Sockets and switches: extension sockets, cable reels, and boxed wall switches and sockets.

Other product photos the shop posted show Opex 18 W weatherproof LED colour tubes, an Asaki PVC pipe cutter, door knobs and hinges. The online catalogue on its website, Shopee and Lazada is mostly small hardware and plumbing parts, such as hose connectors, taps, O-rings, hinges and screws. It also lists a few electrical items, such as travel adaptors and coin batteries. The online shops show prices; on the website’s front page they ranged from RM4.90 to RM65 (October 2026).

Philips appears only in the shop’s own photos: Homeware Mart isn’t on Philips’ retailer list or any other dealer list we hold (Schneider, Hager, Maxguard, CHINT, NSB Lighting, YETPlus, MAVA, Sumei).
