Why Maldives? The store will be underwater in a few years. Let's hope they can at least recoup the investment :)))

If there were to be online shopping @ ODEL it will definitely be a big hit amongst many expatriate Sri Lankans living all over the world.

A branch at Moratuwa is going to help ME very much!

Habai Moratuwe full hette gaanata hetta baaga wikunanda nam beri wei, apey evun manna, kethi, pihi ussan eyi!!

true but I believe the sub branches around the island are not up to standards... when compared with the one in Col 7.. lets hope the others will get its remake in due time.....

the Maldives and we have a good market in the Maldives. In the future we hope to expand ODEL worldwide,' he said.

I wonder if that would be any successful... lets hope it will be:))))...
