PatongPete Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Heard there is a new one off Chaofah East near the Palai Seafood road??? Any info on the new Super Cheap local????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevenl Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 There have been opening quite a few small, 7/11 like, shops in the area. My wife calls them 'small supercheap', so maybe your source means these. Very small though, and IMO in no way comparable to the real deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDRIDER Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Crap, just a new 7/11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LivinginKata Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Crap, just a new 7/11 Lot more stock variety than a 7/11, but very limited compared with any decent minimart. Prices are cheaper than 7/11 and I sometimes use the one in Karon (Patak Rd) but the aisles are far too narrow for 2 people to pass and these shops are very busy with locals.

bunta71 Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 I call these new stores..."mini-cheap" and the main one,..."super ron" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thaiIand Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 The new large supercheap will be built 500m from the one they have now, on the small road. No luck for the south. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drag0nboy Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 (edited) Yeah its OK, standard fare really but good fruit selection - down side is that obviously its right next door to a 7/ 11 and the traffic/ parking immediately outside as always causes a nightmare...... apart from that its a locla supermarket with not bad selection of food and drinks. Standard really. Sorry forgot to confirm that the new large Supercheap (same as Phuket Town) is due to be built on the land just before the Tiger Mauy Thai turning on the left as you head towards Phuket Town.. its a friends landlord who owned/ sold the land.

steelepulse Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Interesting to hear a large supercheap is coming to Chalong if Drag0nboy is correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drag0nboy Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Interesting to hear a large supercheap is coming to Chalong if Drag0nboy is correct. Got told about it late last year when chatting to my friends landlady - it is coming as I had heard the usual gossip then had it "confirmed" by the landlady and three other sources - wait and see ... could be on the same timescales as Chalong Pier road!!

thaiIand Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 from the supercheap owner they seem to be just rebuilding next door on a better land. They already had people move out and excavated the land/trees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimi007 Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 My wife told me they are building a small one in Nai Harn too. Same side of the road, not far from the small Tops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatongPete Posted August 31, 2011 Author Share Posted August 31, 2011 The new large supercheap will be built 500m from the one they have now, on the small road. No luck for the south. Funny how we southerners ( south of Ha Yek) look at things.. I visited the not so new Super cheap etc. BTW, tis north of Ha Yek.. Now, tis this a joke, good thing they don;t put the Super cheap logo very large. In fact I was in there before and found it nothing special. OK Comming N from Rawai etc. just shop at Tesco Rawai. If you are comming sought up to you as to a fast shop etc. Go north to Big C or south past Ha Yek! OK! At best it's about 1/3 the size of Lotus Rawai and remember ther is nothing about for additional service. OH! If you are driving a car for get about it. Is the Motor Bike Mafia... No control at all discusting.. Terrable At least you don;'t get you clots dirty in the shop as with the Phuket City super store./.. me, I really don't care as to S.C. at the end of the month... mai pen rai.....

TigerWan Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 I have found the Super Cheap Local stores to be little better than the average Thai Mom and Pop Store. They just don't have the variety and volume, and none of the foreigner food selections ( like whole bean coffee ) that makes the original a shopping destination for me.
