Panda Mart ownership details differ depending on the regional entity:

1. In Australia, the owner of Panda Mart stores such as those in Cranbourne and Preston is John Chen, who oversees the local operations of the international retailer that originated in South Africa.

2. In the UK, a company named PANDA MART LIMITED is controlled significantly by Mr. Muhammad Zeeshan, who holds more than 25% but not more than 50% ownership and has rights to appoint or remove directors.

3. The Panda Mart retail chain operating in South Africa and expanding in Africa, including Kenya, is described as South African based, but specific individual owners are not named in available sources.

Thus, Panda Mart is a global retailer with ownership and control structures varying by country: John Chen in Australia, Muhammad Zeeshan for the UK- registered company, and South African roots for the African operations. These represent different legal entities under the Panda Mart brand in their respective markets.
