Japan's FamilyMart exits Thailand as 7-Eleven's dominance grows

 

Japanese convenience store chain FamilyMart will withdraw from Thailand after its franchise agreement with local retailer Central Group ended in late May, opening the door for rival 7-Eleven to tighten its grip on the market.

Family now Tops so what???

[Lorry]

For me, Family was often better than 7.

Tops has always sold things I wouldn't buy, and Tops Daily is no different.

Already being discussed on a thread started some time ago.

I live on Jomtien beach Rd. There are eight Family Marts on Beach Rd. within 1km of my building, 2 within 100 meters.  Makes it impossible to direct guests by saying: "Look for the Family Mart."

7-11 has been aggressively building much larger stores around Jomtien & Pattaya.

Going to be a LOT of vacant storefronts.

Thanks - I did search the forum for "Family Mart" but didn't find it - perhaps the Mods would like to close this one?

Yes, lots, water, fruit juices, milk, apples. bananas, oranges, salad, tea, coffee, bread, cold meats, rice, for a kick off.

 

No one is forcing you to patronise them if you don't want to, so why are you so bothered about their stock that is of no consequence, whatsoever, to you?
