7 / 11 shops

[lelapin]

Is the price of an item in one 7/11 the same in all 7/11's  in Pattaya or does each shop have its own pricing system?

[save the frogs]

do you really have the time to travel across the city to save a few baht? 

 

[lelapin]

Firstly I am asking the question purely out of interest, secondly I have four 7/11's  within a quarter of a mile from where I live. If it makes a sad person like you feel a bit superior for a few seconds, I would say that yours is a great comment and have a nice day

I've never noticed differences in price for the same products between different 7/11s, but the selection of products they stock can be quite a bit different from one shop to the next, even within the same neighborhood. 

[pgrahmm]

The 7-11 that's within 200 meters of my Daughters high school has higher prices on small snacks versus the 7-11 6k further down the road on the way home.....Chips & other packaged items seem the same....They also carry more of the larger sized snack items....Eliminating some choices.....

I live in the West now, and we don't have many 7/11 stores in our city. Even Sizzlers closed all its stores in 2020. Why are they still around in Thailand?

They are all different & what they stock is different

They are building more all the time. Why? Because they are so GOOD.

They are mostly the same,  in the whole country. 

Exceptions do exist: Phuket and the tourist islands are more expensive,  7/11 inside Moh Chit bus terminal or airports are more expensive. 

Even a 7/11 inside a condo, so not in a public area,  still has the same prices.

 

Selection of products varies a lot: no sugarless green tea in Issaan, no macadamias where there are no farang, no energy drinks in a hospital...

[scubascuba3]

They always seem the same except on the Islands

I have noticed a trend here in Chiang Mai of opening HUGE new 7-Elevens all around town! Several even have parking lots!  One of them downtown even has parking space for 6 cars!

Minimum wage killed them in the west, same with fast food.

All gone soon!

Each 7/11 is a franchise shop in its own right. But having said that, prices will nearly always be the same but stock will vary from shop to shop.

There are a couple of 7-11 stores near my home in Australia. Their prices are often double what a supermarket charges for many items so I rarely visit them. 7-11 stores in Bangkok seem to have prices similar to supermarkets such as BigC. They are convenient and cheap and I almost daily buy stuff from the one on the ground floor of our condo building.

Sizzlers still in Sydney

I did notice the one on Phi Phi was a few baht more than my local one on Phuket,

Logic tells me yes. For example, a prepacked fresh cheese and ham sandwich will have the same barcode at check out whether in Pattaya, Phuket, Bangkok, Chiang Mai or Khon Kaen.

 

I may be wrong.

If you're buying in bulk it might be worth it. A lot of 7/11 stuff has a shelf life longer than U²³⁸.

Maybe that's because they can still make a profit here.

Really ?

 

That surprises me given the parent company shut the whole shooting match down in 2020.

Same in Bangkok. 

Up to thousands of sqare foot shop area.

Parking space for dozens of cars.

All Pattaya 7eleven shops sell small can Chang 39baht. 

 

I hope that helps 😂

The 7/11 in Suvarnabhumi airport just as you walk down the ramp to the ARL station is a lot more expensive.

All airport 7-Eleven's are the same, everything is more expensive.

If the 7-11 pricing is your problem then maybe you need to get a life.

[HappyExpat57]

The few items I buy (milk, a rice/meat quick meal, etc) are always the same price regardless of the 7/11 or the city they're in.
