LAUGFS Supermarkets plants ‘Saplings of Love’ this Valentine’s Day

LAUGFS Supermarkets celebrated this Valentine’s Day with a special twist, planting ‘Saplings of Love’ to commemorate this special occasion. Valentine’s Day is truly an occasion that celebrates the bonds of love and care that exist between families, friends and loved ones. To highlight these bonds, LAUGFS Supermarkets marked this special day by gifting saplings to the first hundred customers who shopped at their outlets on Valentine’s Day.

“At LAUGFS Supermarkets, we wanted to embrace the true spirit of Valentine’s Day which honours the bonds that we create between individuals, as families, friends, and loved ones. The gift of a sapling is symbolic of the love and care that are required to nurture such bonds and ensure we grow closer together. Therefore we invited our customers to be one of the first hundred LAUGFS Supermarkets customers on Valentine’s Day and to become a part of this unique experience,” said LAUGFS Supermarkets Chief Executive Officer, Mrs. Lilanthi Herath.

The CEO together with her Management team kicked off this unique Valentine’s campaign on the 14th of February 2020, with the symbolic tree planting at the Pepiliyana outlet.


The LAUGFS Supermarkets team took this campaign a step further, involving their internal staff by gifting a potted plant to every outlet as a gift from the management as a symbol of love, care and gratitude. The outlet teams will care for the plant collectively, symbolizing the spirit of teamwork and nurturing to care for their customers and their commitment to the success of the entire LAUGFS Supermarkets business. The Head Office staff too were gifted saplings to commemorate this special day.
