Due to reopen sometime later this year. Central Department Store Co will spend 250 million baht to give its Silom Complex branch a facelift in 2012. An artist’s rendering of the renovated Central Silom Complex. The branch will focus on fashion items suitable for office workers and target groups in the area, as well as Central’sownbrands. President Yuwadee Chirathivat said the budget will be used to renovate the Central Department Store and Tops Supermarket at the Silom Complex branch, which has been closed since Saturday.
