Sri Lanka’s foremost Quick Service Restaurant facility provider, with a long history of being a household favorite across the island, Perera and Sons recently celebrated their 118th anniversary. This rich history and legacy that has lasted over a century and close to two more decades remains unprecedented in the food services industry of Sri Lanka.

The beginnings of the multi-faceted P&S business that continues to prosper today began with the hands of K.A. Charles Perera who hailed from the remote Southern village of Kodagoda. When this pioneer baked his first loaf of bread at the turn of the 19th century, he could never have guessed that he was about to establish an empire. Mr. Charles, using not much more than an old baking tray and his own ingenuity, went from door to door selling his products – this was the start of the P&S legacy. Standing the test of time, P&S has lived on through today’s fourth-generation management of the company.

Quality has always been of paramount importance for P&S. This has been reflected since its inception. P&S won over a loyal and ever-growing customer base due to these exacting quality standards. The undying support from the brand’s customers resulted in P&S setting the standard and becoming a benchmark among the competition. From installing the first electric ovens and setting up cutting edge production facilities, the company now boasts numerous production facilities in locales such as Hikkaduwa, Kandy, Kurunegala, Pasyala, Matara, Pelmadulla, Mihintale, Dambulla, Embilipitiya and Kataragama.

After 118 years of enhancing and expanding their founder’s initial business philosophy since 1902, more than 160 outlets across 7 provinces stand as a testament to the exceptional qualities inherent in the business operations of P&S. However, this has not been without change. Over time, the family-run business has realized that change is unavoidable when in operation for so many years. Thus, it has been their credo to cater to the ever-changing tastes of its loyal customers to the best of their abilities.

P&S takes pride in producing every great tasting item of food with care. With a strong commitment to the highest standards in food preparation, no preservatives are added to any of the food items prepared. Priding themselves for pioneering and leading in the art of baking, P&S has surged forward in its rate of automation, innovation and branch operations in order to simultaneously synchronize over time with the products and services that they are experienced in. Today, P&S has moved beyond being just a family baker to being a leader in the Quick Service Restaurant industry with a diverse range of products from custom cake making to outdoor catering.

Throughout the long period of its existence, P&S has been famous for the consistency of its products. Through state of the art production equipment and ultra-modern facilities, P&S has maintained a competitive advantage, giving customers great taste and value for money. Most of all, the commitment of their staff has helped P&S become what it is today. As a thank you for their service, the company has extended various benefits to its loyal members and their families over the years. Having stood the test of time so far, P&S is clearly a loved brand that will remain with its doors open to customers for many more generations to come.
