7-11 Closed Soi Reggae

[khman]

Hi,

Dumb question as usual with me.... So curious, sorry.

I noticed the 7-11 at begin of soi Reggae was destructed/closed.

Do you know why?

It is not rare to see 7s built, but destructed.....!?

Thanks

This happens all the time everywhere around Thailand, Lease expires and someone takes over the new lease.

I wouldn't be surprised that in no time another 7-11 or Family Mart will be build.

[Rooo]

I'm shattered.

They built the Tesco express in the same junction.

Two 7-11 and one Tesco express does not work.

You have the same on ghost road now.

Two 7-11 and one Tesco express in the same junction.

They actually closed one 7-11 on the road between Dao market and ringroad before.

I think its a refit, from the various work going on inside, partitioning etc,

[vlietje]

yep, refit, and make it a bit bigger at the same time....

Wasn't that 7-11 constantly hit by the floods ?

Perhaps too, the landlord tried to up the rent, like the one at Soi 4 in Maenam... 7-11 moved a few shops down and the old store still empty .... Four or is it five years now ?

... that back fired!

Thanks all for your answers..

I am so curious...

Don't worry. they are opening another one on Bangrak beach road. The other one 35 meters away is just too far to walk to.

Anyone know the number of 7-11 and family marts in Samui ?

By the time you drove around the island and recorded them all - the information would be out of date!

Probably best to check the telephone directory, that usually has the numbers.

Two years ago i met a pensioned police inspector from Bankok, or so he told me anyway.

He was totally obsessed with 7-11. He told me that he was investigating them for ages and could tell exactly how many 7-11's there were on the island and where the money to finance that particular 7-11 came from.

Real funny and interesting guy. He was totally sure that there was something fishy going on.

He regrettably died last year from lung cancer.

Not really OT but it came to mind.

Several years ago the official answer was given as 58 x 7/11 & 35 x FM. I have no idea what the current figures are but it surely exceeds 200 combined. Anyone driving between Bkk-Samui Hospital & the far end of Maenam or vise-versa at night will note that you can see at least one 7/11 or FM as you pass another.
