tvaddict Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 I've heard recently, from a reputable source, that the land opposite Tesco Lotus, where the market is based, has just been sold to the Carrefour company. I think Carrefour own Home Pro and maybe some other brands too - so I wander what is on it's way. Expect a new shop in 2 years time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tvaddict Posted January 22, 2010 Author Share Posted January 22, 2010 I'm refering to Ban Chang by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longball53098 Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 I'll believe it when I see the signage and the groundbreaking. But it would be a welcome addition to the area but not sure about the chaos of the traffic there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anotheruser Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Being that Carrefour has announced they are pulling out of Thailand this seems odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longball53098 Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 Based on the recent reports about Carrefour closing down operations in Thailand I would say this rumored report back in January was just that, "rumor"! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huangnon Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 I do hope not. We'll be running out of excuses to have a run over to Pattaya soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tvaddict Posted August 7, 2010 Author Share Posted August 7, 2010 long ball- recent news that carrefour is selling up its Thai assets does not mean the purchase was just a rumour it does mean however that carrefour would need to sell the land to another buyer - perhaps if Big C buy the Carrefour assets as is the opinion of many we'll end up with a Big C in Ban Chang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait and see I guess. It would seem like this area (BC) is due for some other retailer to come in. Growth here is steady and the area could use another big box type store Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tvaddict Posted January 30, 2011 Author Share Posted January 30, 2011 Update on the news of a possible BIg C is that voices representing the local community shop owners opposed the building of this type of big mall type shop and so there will now be nothing of this type coming to Ban Chang. However the following is happening - a new Central department store is about to be built on the bypass road nearly opposite the Big C in Rayong and also the beaches in Ban Chang are soon to have some development to stop the sea washing away and moving the sand up along the coast line - this will involve the building of some barriers in the water similar to those on Rayong beach. This may lead to further development later of the beaches, Pala, Payoon, Namrin in the hope that more visitors are coming in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deeral Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Extremely unlikely as C/F are moving out of Thailand and most of S.E. asia - they have sold their stores to Big C. Home pro is Thai owned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW - I repeat - They have sold the stores to BIG C - deffo - no rumours - OK? So will homepro now be owned by Big C as far as I'm aware they are a Thai-owned company and a separate entity and therefore an independent issue - what deal they have done I don't know. If you go to any C/F you will see a big sign out side explaining the deal and the future arrangements - e.g. honoring of C/F coupons etc.....

backfromouterspace Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 So will homepro now be owned by Big C Highly unlikely as Homepro is owned by a company whose three partners are Land and Houses Group, American International Assurance Co., Ltd. and the Sarasin family.

tvaddict Posted February 15, 2011 Author Share Posted February 15, 2011 Deeral- do you always start from a position of assuming other people are morons and make up rubbish? not quite sure why you repeat that Big C has bought Carrefour as though you are breaking the news it's now February and I already commented on this in August- it's not news anymore perhaps you would be interested to know this 'rumour' was from the amphur land office as is my latest info about Central coming in Rayong which was told to me by a high ranking official in local government if you are a local retail business owner you will also know of the opposition to the development of a mall type establishment here could you now please be a bit more polite in future posts?

If those are the only comments of mine you see I'll let you draw your own conclusion. others may see things differently. I'm so impressed that you know a "high-ranking official" and have clearly an uncritical faith in his/her ability to give you accurate info. TIT!
