Cold Storage is a Singaporean multinational supermarket company currently owned by DFI Retail Group. Its parent company also operates Market Place stores, now branded as Cold Storage Fresh, as well as the Giant hypermarket brand, and has various other supermarkets around Asia including Hero and Wellcome.

Founded in 1903 as the Singapore Cold Storage Company,[1] Cold Storage was one of the first supermarkets in Singapore to offer its merchandise online in 1997. The number of regular customers has since grown from 6,000 in 1998, to more than 15,000 in 2012.[2] In 1992, DFI purchased the company.

SGS has awarded a HACCP certification to Cold Storage, for its quality and integrity in food safety.[3] As of 2022, Cold Storage operates 50 stores in Singapore,[4] located across the country in city centre, affluent suburbs and HDB (public housing) estates.[5]
