Surangel and Sons Co., a diverse and thriving corporation in the Republic of Palau, has grown tremendously since its humble beginnings in 1980 when founder Surangel Whipps opened a small community store in his home. Driven by a dedication to provide quality products at fair prices, Surangel and Sons Co. has become one of Palau’s largest providers of goods and services, employing over 450 people and holding a respected place in the Palauan economy. Guided by strong Christian principles, the company has remained privately owned and operated by the Surangel family, ensuring continuity of values and a steadfast commitment to the local community.

The company has built its reputation through its wide range of services offered by its four main entities: the Surangel and Sons Supercenter, Masons Hardware Do It Center, Surangel’s Construction Company, and Surangel’s Worldwide Travel. From groceries and household needs to construction, equipment rentals, and travel services, Surangel and Sons Co. provides a one-stop solution that has cemented its role in Palau’s development. With a core belief that “WHERE THE CUSTOMER IS KING,” Surangel and Sons Co. remains dedicated to community engagement, supporting local sports, schools, and churches, and closing for the Sabbath as a demonstration of their commitment to both faith and service.
