First 7-Eleven in Cambodia draws crowds on opening day despite heavy rainfall

[geovalin]

Cambodia’s first 7-Eleven convenience store attracted hundreds of customers on its opening day on Monday, causing queues to form in the remote location despite heavy and prolonged rain at times. The shop is on National Route 6A, Prek Leab village, Prek Leap commune, Chroy Changva district, Phnom Penh, right outside the new borey Peng Huoth the Star Jumeirah security complex.

 

Patrons were generally locals and many were still lined up outside at 9pm, waiting for their turn to explore the Thai-imported stock without overstepping any Covid-19 restrictions. The store’s goods all had prices similar to their already popular rival company, Circle K, in Cambodia.

 

The 7-Eleven store is open 24-hours a day but despite the steady stream of customers there was not a single muddy print and the windows were bright and clean. The observed late-night customers were buying midnight snacks, noodles, soft drinks, next day’s lunch, lipstick imported from Thailand, cutlery and emergency sanitary products. The shop’s self-help section had noodle cups of all the most popular brands, sodas, slushies and instant coffees.
