7 Eleven Vs Family Mart

[bonviveur]

I would like to buy and open a franchise from one those convenience store in Thailand, not looking to get rich but reather a way to stay and live modestly in LOS. Do they make any profit, are they good investment? or would a Black Canyon or Sweensen's be a better investment?

Any help I can get would be helpful, please any coments is welcome.

I've always thought whoever gets the subway franchise in pattaya and samui will be onto a winner There was only 1 in bangkok a year ago, this time next year it looks like there will be 10+...

Subway in Pattaya (Carrefour) never seems that busy the times i have been passed...........maybe it would of been better situated somewhere along Beach Road maybe near Mcdonalds/Burger King etc.

lol.. never even knew there was one in pattaya, a lot of people probably dont.. Sez a lot for their choice of location 99.9% of thais arent going to want to pay 200 bat for a sandwich, whoevers got that franchise must be a real bright spark..

I heard somewhere that a 7/11 with decent traffic makes about 60Kbaht profit per month.

That subway in carrefour would be kicking ass if it were in south pataya and open as late as posible.

Buddy of mine owns part of a subway in bangkok. he is very pleased with results and hinted at 18 month payback period. and hes got one of the out of the way locations.

Anyone know what it costs to get into one of these

franchise businesses ??

Is key money or tea money involved ?

If you are thinking of opening a 7-11, make sure you can find a good thai manager.

7-11 has a policy that you MUST hire a thai manager. No farangs allowed.

Gotta love this country. By the way, does anyone know if there is a thai word for discrimination?

When talking with the expat sales manager for Thailand Subway at Carrefore in Pattaya he stated that a Subway franchise requires an investment of around 3 million baht.

what is the real earning of the buyer of a franchise?

is it true what i heard, that the owner will have to give family mart, 60% of the earning and he only gets to keep 40%.

however 80% of the electric bill is paid by family mart and 20% by the owner.

i wonder how much could it make a family mart based in one of those isolated soi, and if the profits are enough to provide a comfortable living in Thailand.

I like 7/11 more because it is cheaper.A big bottle of SiamSota is 25 bht.

This thread is 5 years old, there is probably more current information available somewhere. This was found in the SME subforum above, probably other similar topics there.
